Thanks, Chris. Good info. And thanks for the link, but I won't be getting a red one. It's going to need to be silverstone metallic. :lol:


FTFY. Good thing it's the most popular S2000 color!

1/4 mile of gravel to get to pavement = it's going to be gravel gray

We have no silver stones here.

not gray, but low mileage late AP1 in Efland. Pricing is OK, not a screaming deal but sounds like it's well-maintained.

edit: not sure how you are about the plastic window, but this car has been for sale for awhile.

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/ctd/2706293443.html

And it's pretty close to gravel gray already.

Thanks, Steven. But no yellow exterior and no red interior for me. The blue one in the STi is bad enough, and it's actually not that bad. :lol:

I've found a few that I'm going to look at in the next week or so. One of them is a 2000 with a glass rear window. Hopefully that won't get me bumped into _Mod or something, if I end up with that one.

Ha! Somewhere, someone is saying "Hey! That's an update/backdate! BSP for you, buddy :twisted: "

Good luck with the search! I kinda like the silver/red combo though. Very C1 Corvette/ EType....

I'm with Kevin....I can't do the Red Leather which kept me from even stopping to look at the one in Sanford as I drove by it with the bus on the way down to Laurinburg. If you can imagine, they actually made an all red interior that looked even worse. http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/2651565577.html Aaaahhhh...makes me want to rip my eyes out.
