Thanks for the comments guys.
Shane,
PM your friends info about the wheels. Ours is an AP2 and the wheels on our car are clean, but one has a small curb mark.
Coleman,
You are right. Looked and looked for a clean white one, but couldn't find any with red leather.
Charles,
You get the first ride. :biggrin:
Ariel,
You know I LOVE Rio Yellow - but Lisa didn't want it. She likes Rio Yellow on your NSX, but not on an S2000 (too flashy for daily driving she says).

The car is "officially" Lisa's (though now she has three cars) :smile: It's her reward for finding a job close to home.
Our plan all along was to get something without a top. We originally were going to get a 2nd NSX (NA2) and almost bought one locally for sale, but it sold before we made an offer. After that Lisa decided that she didn't want an NSX b/c she would worry about it too much (I must have rubbed off on her). She then moved to the Lexus SC430. Nice car and Lisa was pretty much set on that car. She liked it because it was alot like her GS300, but it was too "soft" for me (I was trying to move her toward the S2000 anyway :wink: ).
So finally, I got her to agree to test drive the S2000. It wasn't as "refined" as the SC430, but we had a blast driving it. We drove about 9-10 S2000s before choosing this one (picky picky). We looked at white ones (couldn't find any red leather), red ones (already have two red Acuras), Sebring Silver and Silverstone. We found some Sebring with red leather but decided that we liked the black leather more. I found a used Silverstone and we decided to check it out. Ended up with that one.
Details:
2004 S2000 (AP2)
Silverstone with Black leather
Bought from original owner
10K miles
Factory chin spoiler, side strakes, rear spoiler
Upgraded speakers (Eclipse, I think) with sub and amp in the trunk
Some other OEM accessories also
The car looked and drove like new and we knew our search for a clean S2000 had come to and end.
I already have a list of aftermarket parts ready, but we will probably drive it stock for a few months first.
The car is clean, but of couse I'm going to spend a day detailing it. :biggrin:
I'll post some pics next week when we are back in town.
Lisa might drive it to the next meet.
See you guys soon.
