Many thanks Tony. Kind words.
The colour?
I tested a car identical to the one I have but it was bright orange. BRIGHT. Search images for elise and you'll see. I had been hesitant at the colour thinking it would probably date quickly relative to a Black or BRG but when I saw it I thought it was pretty cool frankly. *However* when I drove it so many people shouted and waved and called to me I said screw it... the car attracts a fair bit of attention anyway i don't need to wave a flag. Imagine too what the impact would be on cops. I've been profiled enough in just the silver S2000. So it was black. Seems to be working too. :-)

Congrats Jed!!! Sweet ride. So the dealer in Sac is dealing on leftover 06s. Bit of a drive from NJ but that is what vacation is for.
Well I must have miscommunicated. The Sac dealer is small so can get '07s for the SF crowd. The dealership in SF (I think) still has 06s and so does the Silicon Valley Auto Group in Los Gatos. That's where I went (ask for Adam and tell him I sent you
)'Course... that's two hours further.

you went with a great color bro! 
looks hot 
as far as overall how does it compare to the S? is it faster or better handling?

I'm still in break in period but the orange I tested *was* faster and better handling than the S. Remember what I said about it being spartan though
