Considering he is in an s2k now, I imagine he knows what it's like day to day

I know, I was just saying that I think it's got to be tough every day. That opens it up for him to either confirm or deny.

Though I am going to DD mine all week.

Yeah it's my only car, daily driver but its purpose is fun in the canyons. I love the S2000 and love many of the things other people say are drawbacks ... I like keeping the car near redline, I like the noise it makes, I don't care about the lack of space (99% of the time anyway), and I love the way it handles. It is slow in a straight line but feels a lot faster than it is too. When the roads start bending it's very capable.

It's just time for a new car ... I've had it 5 years. I also recently had a spot of "sun damage" removed by my dermatologist so done with convertibles before I Darwin myself, LOL. Could supercharge it, could get a hardtop, but again it's 5 years old and time for something new.
