Although it sounds like it might be in the wrong vein from this thread (you're only discussing serious sports cars), the wife and I have been ecstatic with the Audi A3 we picked up late last year. It's really good looking, a hoot to drive, and has a phenomenal interior. It zips through and around highway traffic better than my Prelude SH did (and that's saying something!). Just my 2 cents...
Before the Elise, a S2000 was parked in its place for quite a while, I think. The Audi is certainly a fine car, but it would never do for what I want... anyone shopping for a commuter, in that price realm, could do worse for sure. Check the Legacy GT Spec B ...for sure do not miss the new GTI. Two more get to work machines that define fun to drive.Got a GTI in the shop now- pretty special car.
I always heard that the S2000 had handling problems. I never saw many at the track or autocrosses either. I've never driven one, so I dunno.
I wish that I were a foot shorter. My winter project would be a supercharged Miata.
I've been eyeballing a Cosmos Black '98 M3 coupe lately. It deserves some turbo-charged lovin'.
Still keeping the remaining VX though. I've driven it in some sketchy areas, and I never once got the feeling that it would strand me.
Yep, think the big day will be this Saturday. Got a good lump of $$ I can play with so I am ready to roll. May have to end up ordering an STI since few dealers even carry them on the lot around here. There is one on the floor at a dealer here but I dont want that color. Too many blues out there. Thinking maybe white or the charcoal grey.
Gonna start hunting for a dealer who will install the S/C in the VX too. Blow the dust off of that box and get this damned thing done finally.
Ah, and trailers.... need to find something that will work well with the VX and can drag a waverunner on its back.
Yes my friends, it is time to spend money. So nice being single and out of debt.... only to get yourself back into debt without a woman hollaring down your back.![]()

Yes, buy those toys now -because when a wife comes along, there'll be no more.
Go for the Grystal Gray Metallic (If that's what they are still calling it) STI. Definately stay away from Me Too Blue.
Bah, the STI is hot, but Im not feeling the pig nose on the new models. Good choice though.
No offense to anyone but.....screw that!Originally Posted by mbeach

Reason number 5,601 why I'm never getting married. Unless of course I can find a nice woman who will actually let me live my life instead of dictating it!
You only get one shot while you're here folks. Do what YOU want within reason and have fun doing it!
You don't want to to be 80 years wondering what you shoulda, coulda woulda done
So, if you have a nice new car in mind that you want to buy and it's in your budget....GO GET IT!!!
Sorry for the rant.
