I'm not really serious about it... too much bling for a poor engineer.
Very expensive, Jeff. Great car, perhaps, but lots o' $$.

Right now, I'm thinking about selling my S, my condo, all my artwork, my HST collectibles, and buying a dive shop in St. Thomas. These pix ( http://community.webshots.com/album/285973957qcLwVR/0 ) were taken by a friend of mine who is a dive instructor at the shop that's for sale.

Right now, maybe the could invest in the dive shop - we'd all get discounts

R&T rated the S2000 5th and the Boxster 1st (or was it second)... They said the tranny in the S2000 is the best in teh business. So, it's a tough comparison, Maryanne.

Damned... this is the first MT car I've owned too. To think that everything else that I buy in the future will most likely pale in comparison...

Right now, I'm remembering why I bought an S2000 and not a Boxster...

Base price $53100
As speced $76675
23K in options?


Good God WSB, what the hell did you select? And does she polish your knob while you drive?

Right now, this is spot on.

I'll be in the same boat when the C6 Z06 comes out.
