Let's pretend. You answer correctly the final question on Millionaire. You stay on the island till the very end. You win the lottery. You work hard and invest wisely - does anyone do it that way any more? Anyway, you have a fat bank account. Too fat. Your CPA gives you the news. You've got to spend some bucks before the vault explodes.

What is a person to do? YOU GO CAR SHOPPING! The question is, "Would you even consider the S2000?"

How about 3 CLK-GTR's? One to drive and two to crash test so the other would be street legal (along with some emissions crap, but enough $$$ could take care of that)

Well, there goes your million plus some extra.

I'd probably get a Ferrari 360 Modena F1 (in red of course).

I would still consider the S2K. Just because you have lots of money does not mean you go out and buy an exotic car. And even after you buy an exotic car you may still want a car to drive around during the normal days. And even if you don't choose S2K for that, if you're that rich you will probably have lots of cars.

The fact is that people who is on this board probably likes the S2K quite a bit. For me even if I become an instant billionaire, I'll buy the S2K for the sake of realizing my dream. I mean I've thought and wanted to buy it for so long.

I think this should be better off in offtopic.

I think I'd still buy the S2000. At least I could drive it without worrying about every time I parked it. Also, can you imagine what $25K in mods would do for it and I would have enough left over to drive it cross-country, spending every night in a luxury motel.

Oh, that's a new thought. I'd still have to get the Comptech supercharger. I'd still be worried about it in parking lots. It would have to be my fun car. Excuse me, I'm going shopping.
