Default Test Drove an S2000, now I'm screwed

Hello all! First post. I test drove a 2002 Silverstone today and now I am hooked without the financial means to get it in the garage. Damn Honda. I now drive a MINI Cooper that I campaign in SOLO 2, but the next car I buy will be a S2000. I thought that I could do with a class overdog that I could put car seats in but now I do not need the car seats and can get by with a two-seater again. I plan on keeping the MINI for another year and getting a Silverstone in the summer of '05. Until then, I'll autocross the MINI and check in here from time to time.
Chris

Ewwww.

Anyways.

That's a long wait for sure. And by the time you are ready for the '05 you might end up waiting until '06. I would suspect you can expect a completely new S by then. Maybe an S3000.

I test drove the s2k on a whim and HAD TO HAVE IT! Getting back into my Integra felt like driving a truck.

Never really paid attention to the Mini's until the movie"Italian Job." I thought they looked pretty sweet all modded up racing around L.A.
