All the little things…

All the little things…

As I get older, I’ve learned to appreciate the more subtle moments. Like moments you’d disregard or just accept as normal when you’re young. Something as simple as just going on a short cruise with your friends in the cars you don’t have much time for anymore. When you’re younger it’s just like an every day thing or an activity you do whenever you see your friends. If you love cars it’s just fun to go cruise around in them, make some noise, talk some shit. There’s no thought of just going in one car cuz it’s more convenient. Convenient isn’t fun…

Everything I’ve done to the $50 S2000 so far…

Becoming an S2000-owner definitely was not on my list of 2024 projections when I started the year but things must happen for a reason because here I am with an AP1 that I acquired for a mere $50. Life is random and interesting that way but you know what? I’ve fully embraced my role now as a caretaker to this former track car. It has some wear and tear but for the most part, it’s still in very great condition and with the S2000 came a ton of parts. The suspension work is quite thorough and the engine is healthy. Nothing much had been done to the exterior other which is perfect for me because I had every intention of changing it up. Mainly because I just can’t leave anything alone but I also wanted to make this AP1 feel more like ‘mine’. About a week after taking ownership of the car, I already began looking for stuff to do to it. It just started to snowball from there. I already had a pretty good idea of how I envisioned it to look in my brain, I just had to have the patience to wait for stuff to show up. As it turns out, I actually have come to really like having this S2000. It’s been so much fun to work on so I decided to dedicate an episode to us changing this $50 S2000 from former track car to a sleek SoCal street-cruiser….

Believe it or not, I actually paid $50.00 for this Honda S2000…

While I was in Japan one random evening about a month ago, I was laying in bed just doom-scrolling away on my phone when I came upon a post for a S2000 raffle back at home. I never join these things because frankly, I don’t think I’ll ever win. Are these things even legit? Who actually wins? For whatever reason, I decided I’d purchase a spot. What’s the real harm in spending $50 to support a fellow enthusiast? If anything it’ll be fun and I can join in on the collective disappointment with my fellow car people who participated…

…but there’s an actual chance I could win, right? Even if it’s a .001% chance, that’s still a possibility, right??….
