S2000->EVO->S2000?
Ok guys i need your advice.
I have owned 2 s2000's in my life time, and I've logged over 100K between the both of them. I went from a 2001 berlina black to a 2001 spa yellow to a 2003 Evo........now i find myself in a position to pick up a silver 02 for about 21-22K. The interest rate is great and I so do want to pull the trigger. I mean owning an evo and an s2000 would be a dream come true! But, here is the caveat..........I was thinking about trying to buy a condo/townhouse in about a year. If I decided to get the s2000, I would have to put off buying my 1st home for about 2-3 years. What the hell do i do. My brain tells me to go for the house but my heart is telling me to get the s2k. What would you do? Oh and I dont have a wife or kids and currently live in an apt.

Damn...that's a toughy...I came so close to getting an evo before I got my S....And i'm glad I didnt...I actually obsessed over the evo for years...was about to buy...then, by chance, ran upon the s2000 (I own now) and went on a joy ride...My evo feelings deminished and I purchased the s2000 the next day 
...However I would like to have one to sit next to my baby....
The "smart" thing to do would be get the house...But you sound like a car nut (just like myself)...So I wont give you any advice..Just step in and tell you what a parent would say to a son...However that never really made a difference on what I did in life...
I am about to get a house myself..I'm currently renting a townhouse..So no more toy's till this one is paid for!

House, hands down.
A year later you can even get an S for your self, a big rocks for your wife, pay off all of your credit cards, a nice vacation in an exotic places, ...etc, all at once. Think about it!

House. Later on, a home equity loan with its tax-dedutible interest can help you get a car to make up for the pain. Patience, it's hard, but it can pay off.
Real estate almost never depreciates as badly as a car, and while you can't pick up chicks with a house, it impresses them way more than a car, usually.
