Interesting dilemna that that guy has. I doubt you could find a used Boxster S for the kind of money that he's willing to spend. Of course getting an S2K as a companion to the M5 would be ideal. Two totally different cars with the same fun factor.

I'd agree it was the fairest group of postings I've EVER seen about us on another car site. Sure some of them are blowing smoke, but overall they seem like a reasonable group of people.

Hmm. Though I have no personal experience, I've read enough articles and seen enough on UBBs to agree that BMW could learn (though a company called UUC makes superb upgrade short shifters) from Honda about shifters, and maybe Porsche.....

...but Ferrari? I dunno about that one. You can't beat a gate shifter.

What's most amusing about this thread has nothing to with the S2000 but the obvious studied diffidence about showing too much enthusiam for any "summer" toy. This is definitley the work of the country club set, and reflects a mentality I find both apalling and laughable.
