Oh man, you're not alone. After having a car for a couple of months I tend to just get "used" to it. This even happened when a friend of mine let me keep his NSX for a month when he was out of the country. (I had a garage, he didn't). I actually got used to the NSX. I occasionally drove it but damn, it was only $70K worth of transportation.

Yeah, I know how you feel. I bought a 2003 Acura CL-S last year and knew after I bought it that it should have been an S2000. I spend alot of money modding it up...but it still didn't feel right. So I finally traded it for a 2003 S2000.

I know how you feel, I am 41 and figured out that I am on #38 currently. My wife hates me.

When I read the title, I assumed it to mean that you'll never be happy with any car other than the S2000 ever again because that's how I feel. It seems like it can only get worse than owning an S2000 unless I spend way more money than I plan to.

Well I'm pleased to see there are plenty of nut cases here who have the same affliction that I do. I bought a new '88 Legend coupe 5 speed, then a '91 Integra GS, '92 Pathfinder, "95 Maxima and traded that for a '99 Acura TL. My first A/T. Nice, but I had to have the CL-S when that came out. More fun, but I got bored with the automatic. Traded that even-up for the RSX Type S. This is a really fun and quick car! Great 6 speed. Saturday I got my silverstone/black S2k!!
Never say never, but I can't imagine ever getting bored with it. It truly is like nothing else I've ever driven.

Hey...it's not only guys with this problem. I'm totally like that. I get in lots of trouble from everyone around me. They say I'm wasting money always changing cars. But I get bored of cars though. That's why I have to lease all my cars.
The past 2 years...here's my boggled mind.
Had a 2001 Glacier White CLK 430. Lease was for 24 months. During this time, I wanted a SLK 55, and then I also really wanted a Amulet Red Audi TT Coupe. But I hesitated because it was only in manaul.
Then, I gave up the CLK in 18 months because I decided to "save" money and maybe get my own place. So I got a 2003 VW Beetle Turbo. Double yellow color....but then, I changed my mind...and I wanted another fast sports car...so now I have the 2003 S2000. I just my s2k just 2 months ago. And still loving it. I still have my bumblebug. Its almost 1 year old. Its sorta of passed down to my b/f now...and we both fight who gets to drive the s2k on sunny days though. We drive the beetle when it's wet outside, and the s2k when only its sunny.

I think I'm a boyfriend's dream girl!! Just love cars! I don't shop much...just like mostly cars...and GUCCI though...

My next car in mind? I don't know...I don't think I'll ever get bored of my Ruby. I thought my CLK was a dream to drive..but that all changed after I got Ruby. I think every other car feels boring compared to my little rocket!! There may be cars out there with more power, but they just aren't as fun.

S2000 RULES!

I'm 46 years old and I really have no idea how many cars I've owned. I would guess between 135 and 175. I don't think it could be less than 135 and it may be as high as 200.

If I could I would own at least one of every car ever made.
