I bought a black S2000 today. It looks like a new car. I'm going back to pick it up tomorrow.

I found some discrephrencies in the paper work today. So I re figured it all and find they had snuck into the sales agreement a charge for z shield of $1285. So I got them to remove all but $285 of that and correct the sales tax amount. They are supposed to send me a check now for $868. I'll be looking for that.

It was just like the scene in Fargo where they fought over the tough coat rust treatment.

I am in the process of buying back my Van Dieman FF. I am hoping to work out a partial trade for my Vector.

I picked it up Thursday. Lots of good stuff done but I am still having room to get my feet in or out problems. I ordered some really thin shoes yesterday so hopefully that will help a lot.

The new shoes are perfect but getting in and out is still a big unsolved problem for me.

Post Intro & Outro

? Maybe some canvas boat shoes ? .

I'm always caught out when some really small car requires me to sit down butt first then swing both feet in together .

How are you enjoying the S2000 ? .
