Introducing Hayami

I finally did it. I purchased an S2000. Those who know me well know that this was an obsession a very long time in the making. You can read my previous TEK Auto posts about the S2000 here and here (the latter post dating as far back as a year ago).

I picked her up last Saturday at 10am and drove around for most of the day, just getting to know the car better; handling dynamics, clutch engagement point, etc. In a moment of convertible n00bosity, I actually got sun burnt. Somewhat embarrassing, but absolutely worth it.

I won't go on and on about how unbelievable this car is (you can read the two aforementioned posts to get that). But I can honestly say that this car is truly in a league of its own. The sound that screams out of the engine bay as you approach the unheard of 9,000 rpm redline is unlike anything you will hear from any production car on the market.

Hayami (thanks Iku) means "Fast Beauty" in Japanese. Quite appropriate. Her and Adriana (my 3) are still getting acquainted. Stay tuned for more updates.
