She is correct.
I'm obviously missing something. I see no S values.

Interesting to see a News story on this. Owners have been talking about this for 14 years.

Just guessing, but I think what he is saying is that he told his wife what S2000 values are according to sites like KBB, etc, and what S2000s are selling for these days and she told him that it doesn't matter because he "will never sell that car." One might extrapolate that it equally doesn't matter to cosmo's wife if it becomes a collector car with through-the-roof values because he "will never sell it." Based on cosmo's other posts, it appears that he and his wife enjoy their S2000 quite a bit and so basically it would take something akin to pigs flying before they will ever part with it, regardless of what money it could be sold for.

The Lotus, Boss, and S2000 for sure; the others I would not be very hot on or care to own.

Bahahah! And you even survived it too! It's all good, man. I'm sure you are probably very happy to know you have a very smart wife. Maybe tell her that and it will deflect "the look" a little.

These articles are mostly fluff anyway. I own two of the cars on the list and, frankly, I don't think it's a big deal. As limited production as it is with all that collector potential, I still couldn't see myself owning a Solstice coupe. Although, I admit wholeheartedly that I would own that before I would own a Solstice or Sky convertible. What a ridiculous thing THAT was when it came to convertible top design.
