Aside from that commercial post, you didn't do anything wrong - no worries

Either way, wasn't my intent. If i wanted to sell the car, there are far more effective ways of doing it than posting about it in an S2000 forum.

If that was boxy then hit me with boxy. What I've seen of the upcoming e90-ish M3 doesn't give me ANY wood.

They're talking about the last gen M3 (E36) which is boxy.

Now, you're just being absurd. Though "designed" in the 80's, everything about the NSX is better than the M3, and 1000 times sexier. Performance of E36 M3? Ha! It leaves the E36 M3 in the dust in every category of performance, on a road course or drag strip. The 3.2L NSX can beat a C5 Corvette from 0-150 mph. That's pretty good for a car designed in the 80's. I can't believe you said that.

I agree too that the E36 was as boxy as a Tercel. They looked very similar.

If I were you, I'd look into an S2000 AND a used E46 M3 (since it seems you're attached to your car, and BMW for that matter). That's just me. Good luck with your final choice!

Well since I have a nissan sentra now, I really want an impractical car, and the S2k is just that.

The e46 is in my price range, but it won't be new, and will cost me a lot more to own in the long-run. Otherwise, yeah it's a very capable car. I have never been a fan of how bloated the BMWs are getting, which is why I have kept to the older ones.

What color S2000 do you have your sights set for?
