Reason I said no to s2k, I am in the midst of purchashign a rio yellow one.

Miata--have 2 already

No go on the RSX. Had integras before.

The GTO seems like a very good choice, and noticed a few of you mentioned it.

Haven't thought of the 350Z. Are the drop tops in the 30 range?
Why so many cars in the same niche? two miata's, an s2k, a mini cooper S. Why don't you sell them and up your budget?

So you currently own a new S2000, a $30k Mini, and 2 Miatas? What else? And now you're looking for another $30k car?

I either call major BS, or major stupidity. Why not sell, I don't know, three of these mid-price cars and get something nicer? This is like having ten old Civics instead of one S2000.

It's like some people I know that have 4 Civic's... or at least Civic based cars. ITR, 89 Civic Si, 04 Civic Si, etc...

I mean honestly...

Hey I thought the forum would understand my problems better htan my family!! You guys are questioning my hobby...but you are supposed to be my people

I have a few motorcycles...but you are not gonna start saying why do I need more than 1.

Come on..the car hobby isn't about reality and practicality!!

I like 2 seater/sports cars. The Mini is a very fun car.

I don't like trucks and don't like sedans.

Just looking to add another toy thats it.

You are right, maybe I should up the budget to 50K and get a used viper.

BS? Lol, I just went to the simi valley meet and met the S2k people.

I DO NOT own a s2000. Working out with Honda world (matt piercy) to get one.

My one miata--I am thinking of selling..its a mazdaspeed miata..the turbo one.

My other, is a 1991 one.


Sorry if you call me stupid. If that is the way it goes, I will just not post. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

I just like variety. To me the Mini offers something the miatas don't. The turbo miata is a completely different car than my underpowered, flickable 1991.

The s2k is a complete different cars than things I have. Sure they may be roadsters, but they are different.


My apology if I offended. I posted pictures in the So Cal section before, but I don't want to burden you with further BS.

All my cars lack torque, thus I was looking for advice, and the 350 Z and the gto were good bets for the money.

I believe that variety is the spice of life. Even husbands of super hot playboy models get tired of F'ing them.

I would rather have 7 women who were 8 on a scale of 1-10, then 1 wife who was a 10.

Different strokes for different folks. I didn't call names, and didn't understand why I was subject to the same.

If you ever in the Ventura County area, I will be happy to buy you a beer and try to explain my stupidity in person, if you would like.
