Another oddball evolution:
1981 BMW 320 > VW golf > Renault twingo > Ford Bronco 2 > Ford Bronco > Dodge stealth > Audi a4 2.8 > Accord coupe ex v6 6 speed > S2000 !
I guess I fall somewhere between the hardcore, JDM tuning, sport baller luxury pimp thing!
All in all, The NSX has been my next dream car for quite a while now. In fact, if I could ever manage to have both the s2000 and the NSX in my garage, I'd be the happiest man in the world !

Depends on what you do with the NSX / Ferrari / Konigsegg...

Regardless, you're a PIMP!

if the purpose of the car was to perform better on the track.

if you're just going cruising for ladies in the 'Egg.

I voted "Baller Pimp Track" because the description fit me most, however "Luxury Sport" might fit my actual vehicle evolution best due to financial constraints. The S2000 is probably the most expensive pure sports car that I'll ever own, but I'd get a GT3 in a heartbeat if I could afford it (or even maybe a Z06).

I started with an 88 Accord as my college commuter. After college, I upgraded to a Prelude for my first foray into the sport coupe genre. Once I realized that FWD wasn't a great configuration for racing, I got into the S2000 as my first sports car. The S2000 is intended to be my track/autocross workhorse, but I suspect I'll eventually end up with a G35 sedan/335 or something similar for daily driving duties. I currently sport a 95 Accord sedan for commuting.

I guess I'm a 1/2 assed JDM Tuner

Civic (mildly modded to improve handling for lapping days) -> s2k only

(can't afford an NSX any time soon )

However I do see myself going Sport Luxury w/ a Cayman S (to replace the S if it dies) or 335 as my 2nd car (baby hauler).

Yeah i went through an 89 accord and -> 92 accord in high school, then -> 01 prelude sh and the current s2k, but road noise and overly stiff rides have never bothered me in the least, most cars feel too soft to me even my s2k. i can definately see myself having an atom as a dd. and if i ever get to the point of having enough money to buy a supercar a koeneggsegg would be it or whatever its equivalant when i get to that point. So i guess that puts me under hardcore lightweight.

LOL, I'm all over the map. I'm clearly a Hardcore Lightweight Handling guy, but I'm also a Diehard Roadster Enthusiast, and I've also owned Civics and driven more Skylines than most ricers will ever see (outside their dreams ).

Instead of following some kind of logical pattern my ownership history is more like the output of a good random number generator, so in that respect, I guess Temporary Diversion fits too, but I now tend to keep my old cars more often than not.

At the moment I think I'm between the S2000 and something lighter, but I change my mind too often to be sure.
Interesting poll.

2nd combo: CBR929 + Golf 1.8T GTI
3rd combo: house + S2K. Keeping both car and bike.

Oh yeah, and debt.
