"You need a more practical car." I have and it ticks me off. I love this car and love how it drives. Yes its got no space to take 2 people on a long trip. But who cares!!!

Just wondering how many others get the same line.

When people say things like... "Must be nice!" I say yes it is!

When they say it isn't practical... I say, "Not for your life (pause) style."

 

Yeah, all the time. Oh well, they just wish they had one

 

I'm acutally saying that to myself right now...

I got that for the past 6 years with my 300ZX. My wife and I would either have to meet friends out or they would drive. I'd get the "how can you have a car with just two seats?" My response was always "How can you stand driving XXX?" Best one was from my good friend who had a Subaru Justy - with a pink racing stripe no less! He gave me sh1t all the time, which was odd because I had ALOT more ammo than he did!

If i would have regretted only having two seats I certainly wouldn't have gone from the Z to the S. 90% of the time it's just me in the car anyway - or my and the dog!

 

I don't need a practical car.

I have a practical wife and she has an Accord.

But I do have a "beater" so I can save the S2000 from snow, rain, rutted mountain roads and motorcycle hauling chores.

And my "beater" has VTEC too!"

 

I have to say that I really stretched to get this car. I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination, and the payment is strapping me bigtime. I was lucky to only pay full sticker because my name was the first on the list before there was even a list...I had to wait til I could actually afford it to get one, I was first in line. This car is not practical for me, it may have been down-right stupid for me to purchase it, but I'd be lying if I said I wanted anything else short of a Ferrari F355. I simply had to have this car. My friends make fun of me for driving a house payment when it doesn't snow, and then gig me when it won't make it out of my driveway in the snow. But, jealousy is a powerful thing, they just wish silently that they could be me. Every one of them has asked me to let them drive it on some "special occasion", like going to the store. My response? For a measley 35K you can drive it all you want, otherwise keep starin' at my beautiful exhaust tips.
