Replying to: ljgbjg (Apr 22, 2008 7:35 am)  ljgbjg: You make an excellent point about the salt that I didn't think about. They use something else down here other than salt. During our winter storms, we might see 2 bouts of snow with each lasting no more than a week each. I can handle the snow for 2 weeks but more than that... I'd have to reconsider.

I don't know the market in Albany, so I'm not sure if you can get it cheaper. Pre-owned and used ones are better deals, though. |

Replying to: accelerator (Apr 22, 2008 7:50 am) Whatever is metal and not aluminum will rust badly in upstate Ny - Albany averages 64 iunches of snow a year, and in January the temperatures can easily stay below freezing for weeks at a time. Plus it is a damp cold - a real battery killer - being at the intersection of two rivers - the Mohawk and the Hudson. As for the roof and snow? Well, we moved back to NY - Manhattan, and I left my S2000 out in NJ at a friend's house covered with a car cover outside off the street. They had some pretty bad storms - 14-18" of snow and my car was buried under it. Never had a problem with the roof. It can hold a surprising amount of weight. Sold her in 2006 - -had her upstate about 2 hours from NYC at a weekend house. Did not get to drive her much. Awesome car - white/tan with rear lip spoiler. Had it up to 152 in SC on I-77 once. The only car I have ever had capable of running at the redline at top speed. Very steady - 80-100 in 4th, 100-135 in 5th, 135-152 in 6th - and believe me with that overdrive that took a looooooooooooong time! That was the scariest part - how long it took - too many miles and exposed too long to police observation and/or radar. Anyway, back to the S2000 and snow. While it might be possible, kind of out of keeping with its intended purpose and, IMHO, kinda dangerous.

Replying to: anythngbutgm (May 07, 2007 4:07 pm) A question concerning the top of my 2003 S2000. I bought it used and the previous owner did not maintain the top. I would like to recondition it to bring back (if possible) the original color. Any ideas? I love the car - much like driving a go-kart. rick |

I have a 2003, in great shape and it screams. Bought the car used just over a year ago and the previous owner did not maintain the top. I would like to bring it back (if possible) to its orginal color. Any ideas how to do this? (its much too easy to buy a new one...) Input most appreciated. rick
