@colatkitty, thats a good looking S2K you got there.

I sold my low mileage 08 S2000 CR so that I can get the FRS/BRZ when it comes out. Do I miss the S2K? Sure I do. But there are a few short comings of the S2K that the FRS/BRZ does not have. Of course money can solve all these issues but thats not the point.
1) Convertible - That means I need to get a rollbar for track and also even a relatively new CR flexes in the corners.
2) 2 Seater - That means can't transport tires. Don't want to have to add a hitch and trailer to transport tires.
3) High Seating Position - The high position with no height adjustment really bothered me. I need to slough in order to see out the car clearly.
4) Gas Mileage - Not very fuel effecient.
5) Discontinued - Well, parts will eventually be less and less available and aftermarket support will be less and less.
6) Short Throw Shifter - Some people like it but I prefer the regular S2000 shifter.
