well ive been a diehard Honda guy for the past ten years (as most of you have seen) and the past three years i went away from them towards “better” cars… after having nothing but reliability problems with my latest bmw i decided to ditch it and pick up an s2000 🙂 06 New Formula Red so far the only mods are k-sport coilovers that were on the car and it looks like the fenders were “rolled” plans are to clean the body up, a nice set of wheels and just enjoy it with the top down this summer [![http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8229/8531769463_37827bf707.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8229/8531769463_37827bf707.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/36272574@N04/8531769463/) [Untitled](http://www.flickr.com/photos/36272574@N04/8531769463/) by [saxonbrian2](http://www.flickr.com/people/36272574@N04/), on Flickr bye bye bmw [![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7080/6980850970_8b2a41aa21.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7080/6980850970_8b2a41aa21.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/36272574@N04/6980850970/) [Untitled](http://www.flickr.com/photos/36272574@N04/6980850970/) by [saxonbrian2](http://www.flickr.com/people/36272574@N04/), on Flickr and my daily [![http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8237/8438188047_6a4fa4bab3.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8237/8438188047_6a4fa4bab3.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/36272574@N04/8438188047/) [IMG\_0027](http://www.flickr.com/photos/36272574@N04/8438188047/) by [saxonbrian2](http://www.flickr.com/people/36272574@N04/), on Flickr ---

misfire over 6000 rpm, that i tried everything to fix! fueling issue last friday and with my aftermarket warranty they would only pay the first $60 in diagnostics so i was sick of thousands in diagnostic fees without an answer i will say the car was the perfect daily driver in theory, and i will miss the power, ride quality and the features… just not the problems, lack of lsd and horribly expensive parts ---
