Goodbye S2000

The end of days for my "03 Honda S2000 are few now. I've orderred a glorious replacement: MCS CR wht. stripes,rf and caps. Got all the packages 1,2,3 stereo upgrade,piano black,anthracite,chrome grill,driving lamps, 17" webs...
As soon as I test drove the car I knew this was a car that could make me smile every day. Anyway, just wanted to say hello and although my S2k days are nearing an end I look forward to a bright (red) future with a wonderfull car.

The interior - the S2000 didn't have any options - like NONE - LOL!!

I can sit higher in the MINI - S2000 didn't have adjustable seats (up and down)

Get more Thumbs up and waves..

I agree on all points except the thumbs up and waves (no experience yet)
S2000 stereo sucks
can't talk on phone while driving(with earpiece of course)...engine too loud

It's been interesting lurking around here at the suggestion of a fellow I know on another site (tractors). There they talk about "pulling the trigger", "about to bite the bullet" etc and I have to chuckle as I have owned tractors for many years. When it comes to vehicles though, I have never owned anything new, can only imagine what having a MINI would be like and quite frankly, have never felt like this about any automobile before. Cars don't really interest me. When on the freeway I look out and see millions, no billions of cars and despise them. With the MINI I see wide open spaces, relaxing drives, downshifts, and smiles all the time while sitting in traffic. Maybe I have a tumor! Is it just me? Have I arrived at mid life crisis prematurely? Do I need HELP? RaT...
