i’m not that great at driving a 5 speed just yet. i have only driven two cars with a 5 speed and for a limited time only. the problem i have is when i come to a stop..i usually choke the engine and it dies out on me..and i have to restart the car again.
the other problem is when i’m driving, i don’t know when and what gear i should really be on..and the car starts jerking like a biatch.
i look foolish driving a stick shift in public..i am afraid i might cause an accident.
yet, i still want to drive an S2000 because i like that car. should i get it? i want one with a rear glass window and the better suspension and LED lights..so i figure 2004-2006 only.
used ones and salvage title ones are going for around $12-14k..which is kinda cheap for a car with 244hp.
other concerns are that people love jacking S2000′s for their seats. the seats go for about $600 dollars on the black market. i see thieves all the time trying to sell them on Craigslist.
should I get an S2000?
i’m also concerned about theives trying to steal the car because it has a push button start mechanism..if they get blank keys which is what theives are doing these days, they can get in the car, and work the steering column and push start the car with that button.
that is just bad news.
i have a rifle and a gun that i keep with me and i really would use it against someone who tries to take something from me..but i have to make sure i shoot them when nobody is around.
lastly, people think it’s a teenager’s car. do you really think it’s a teenager’s car?? i’m no teenager but i’m not an old fogie either.
is this a fun all around great car to drive in? is parking easy?
