Default I got robbed by the S2000!

So I was on the market a few months ago for a car and I was trying to get an Evo IX. As soon as I got enough money to spend for it I went out and started to look for and test drive those cars. But to my dismay, when I checked on my insurance quote it was out the roof (my 2 speeding tickets probably didn't help). Now I was stuck. One day I went into a used car dealer to see what cars they had. I saw a black '04 S2000. I never put the S on my potential car list because it only had 2 seats and a very small trunk. The salesman walked up to me and asked with a smirk, "Would you like to take her for a test drive?" I said, "Yea, what the hell." Big mistake. The dealership had a little mountain close to it and that bastard of a salesman took me there! I immediately got drunk off of the "feel" of the car. Within the next week I test drove an '06 and an '02 S. After 2 more days I bought the '02, it's a beautiful Sebring Silver color. I like the pre '04's a little better because it feels a little more "hardcore" to me. A little piece of advice: Don't test drive an S2000 unless you are planning to buy one!

p.s. I guess it wasn't a mistake since I absolutely love my car. But she still robbed me.

The S lured me in on the test drive as well. I was expecting to buy myself an STi, but a test drive in the S2000, along with a $2000 price drop at the dealer, sealed my fate.

Congrats on the car. Enjoy it and be safe.

Thanks for all the replies. I thought that there would be other people who got "robbed" like me. When my friends first asked me why I got the car, I would say, "It's too much fun. It feels too good" then I would laugh a little as if I was a little boy on Christmas Day. This one girl looked at me like I was crazy. Oh yea, and I would like to say hi to all the S2ki peoples. The forums are great since I'm a "home mechanic".
