Last Sports Car: 2001 Honda S2000
All things are temporary. When I say things, I mean most any thing. They start out simple, get better with time, and then eventually the become extinct. Dinosaurs; yup, 240 Million BC to 66 Million BC. Classic music; sure thing 1750-1820. Rock and roll music; 1960-1980. And there is another rule, the best example of said thing happens towards the end of the timespan of said thing. Tyrannosaurus Rex went extinct in 66MBC, Beethoven died in 1827, and John Bonham died in 1980. Which brings us to today’s topic – the thing is the sports car; born in 1903 and dead in 2009. Some 60 horsepower Mercedes was the first sports car, but the Honda S2000 was the last. Find this 2001 Honda S2000 offered for $9,800 in Atlanta, GA. Tip from FuelTruck.

On one hand the body looks to generally be in very nice shape given the mileage. On the other hand, the passenger rear wheel does not match the other three; it’s missing an exhaust tip; the top is quite tired; the shifter doesn’t have its knob which implies that this is a dealer/flipper who acquired this without much history, and the interior looks like it might be more tired than it first appears.
In any case you can’t find them any cheaper than this.
Looks like a fat guy owned this car. That’s a lot of backfat rubbing against the drivers seat bolster to cause that wear. One day he went to shift, and as his clammy mitt wrapped around the shifter knob, it came off in his hand and he just threw it over his shoulder and into the bullrushes in a attempt to shake it loose. Check the sellers right hand for scarring in the palm.
I think I’m gonna be sick.
No crap-o cold air intake, check.
Stock wheels, check.
No park bench spoiler, check.
No body kit, check.
Stock stereo: maybe.
Factory paint: likely.
The small caveats vanish when weighed against undoing the PepBoys mods that most of these wind up wearing. If I didn’t already have an Abarth holding my driveway down I’d be negotiating this price.
