Default got a new ride to replace my wrecked 1LS...

technically this doesnt belong here but i like shooting the **** with you guys so i figured i'd post it anyway..

just couldnt justify spending 2-3k to fix a car worth 5k


so i went from big bodied 4dr luxo cruiser to this...






i like it but my LS will always have a special place in my heart


wonder if the IS wheels will fit on this? i think im gonna try to fit them just to see how it looks, haha

Wait... what happened to your LS???

I wrecked the front end on my LS... if I were to have it professionally fixed, it would have run $3000+ for a car that I have only $4000 into, and is worth maybe $6000 tops.

BUT I could not convince myself to get rid of her. $1000, lots of parts hunting, and countless hours later, my LS is back on the road...

that sucks man, but u came out alright and thats what matters.

coincidently, after my old LS got wrecked i spent about a week looking into S2000s, but there was a point where, after having taken on a pickup truck head on, that i came to a stoplight, looked over, and realized that with the top down, i was barely 3/4 the way up the TIRE of this lifted chevy next to me....

oh, and i got stuck in the car after ~30mins, and was a pita to get out.


have fun in it!!!

Sorry to hear about your LS - the tach redline on the S2000 is insane!!! I looked at them also in 03 but bought the 350Z in the end as a zoom zoom on the weekends
