Ha, my car evolution could not be more convoluted.
It goes like this
68 Beetle>69 Ranchero>87 Trecel>85 mr2>97 Tacoma 4x4>97 Probe GT>91 Supra turbo>00 Integra gsr>91 Explorer 4x4>04 G35 sedan & Yamaha yzf750r>07 s2000. I suppose the only pattern is that I like Imports for the most part.

This is one of the best threads/polls I've ever seen. Kudos to Ckit for something original and fun!

I think I'm a diehard roadster guy, with a tendency for sport luxury as i grow up. My next car is either going to be a G37. BMW 3 series or Nissan GTR [once they finally announce a North American price point I'll know]. But I have every intention of keeping my S for the summer! If the weather was better in Vancouver, I'd have nothing but roadsters probably.

I said "Sport Luxury" but not for the reasons mentioned. I had (and still have) an Accord for the family but the S2000 is "my" car. I plan to step up to a Boxster/Cayman S, Z4M, or even an Elise or Z06 as time and funds permit. Ultimately, I want a GT3.

I hope to maintain a "non-practical" car in my fleet until I die. We'll see how that holds up as more kids come along, though.

I went from Anything fast in a straight line to hardcore handling snob. I kinda wished I've never bought a s2000. It's too damn hard to split my funds between two types of cars.

But thanks to the s2k, i've come to appreicate handling alot more. I think my next with be, Luxury sport or vette/viper.

Not sure which category I fit in. I started out with

99 Civic Coupe (auto) --> 00 Civic Si --> 01 Prelude base --> 03 Celica GT-S --> S2000

I started autoxing with the Civic Si and did the most events when I had the Prelude and Celica. Now that I bought the S2000, I've only attended two autox events because I feel bad for beating on the car too much because I do tend to stretch out my leg and have fun with the car when I drive it after work or on the weekend. This is my first convertible and I do see me getting another convertible in the future. But the progression also means to own a Porsche and then a Ferrari if I can afford it. So I don't really fit in the JDM crowd because I don't care for straight line performance and I haven't bought much for the S2000 except for a set of Volks CE28s and some Mugen accessories.
