i bought the s2k off my older brother before he left for the air froce and sold my is300 for the is250 so that i can drive it during the winter so to say, and tried modding both cars sucks cause all i did was collect serious parts for the s2k and never put them on, the same with the is250.

found out im having a baby sold the s2k to save up more money to be better off, wanted to buy another one but now i just bought a house, and im thin king of picking up another s2k or 350z

i LOVE S2k's trust me i'd actually like one myself.... but they're becoming the new civics, they're everywhere now, and they're like the "me too" cars as my friend put it

"hey there you got an s2k? me too!!!"

I'm not taking offense to your comment, but I do disagree with it. For whatever reason, there are probably 10 ISx50's driving around north Dallas for every 1 S2000. There are actually 4 white ISx50's (including mine) within a 50 yard radius in my work's parking lot right now. I'm lucky that I have different wheels to make it easier to find it in the parking lot. Besides, I have no emotional need to have a car that few other people have.

Hahah Greg, me and my co-worker were talking about that same thing right here in uptown. We had come to the conclusion that IS250's were "buy one get one free" from sewell and park place over the summer. I swear i see more of them around here than I see DART Buses.

looks like you will be back out at cresson more often.

I couldn't agree more with you. The funny part is that this is 10x more true in Southern California.

^^ I'll vouch for this in Nor Cal too. ISx50s are EVERYWHERE. If anything, the IS has become the new Civic not the S2000.

Yeah man, I feel you. There are IS's everywhere in the DFW area.

I actually work near Bankston Nissan in Lewisville, right off of Hebron. That's a clean S2000. Nice choice.

Nice! I had an 2007 AP2 GPW before I bought the IS250. Definitely do miss it ... It had the white + red combo too

S2000 owners very often go back to one. I used to have an AP1.
