I can afford to drive my S2000 and not be broke and or obsessive.

I'd have to be filthy rich and to buy the exotic would be considered a toy and not transportation.
Both Ralper and Phoenix have said it all.

I totally agree with #2
However, i would love to have a NSX also. maybe someday, but couldnt see myself trading in the S for one.

I enjoy the S and do not feel as if I'm a slave to the car -- the price is reasonable, the upkeep is my choice and the car is dependable. Any extras I spend are because I choose to do so -- I love the S and prefer the design and appearance to that of the current cars that are in its class. (I simply do not like the front grill design on the Z4 and don't like the rear of the boxster).

secret? what secret????

if you get a car for something other than daily transportation, it has to be something you can have fun driving. i think the 360 fits the bill there.

if it can be fun in a regular commute, so much the better. the s2k fills this role nicely for me, as evidenced by getting an '04 to replace the wrecked '00 and not something else no matter how much more sensible it would have been. i was tempted at getting an NSX for a daily driver, but u would have wanted a more recent 290 hp 6 speed version, and they are still a bit high for what i want to pay.

FWIW, you can get into the "exotic" world for less than a new s2k.... 308's can be found around 30k, and while i have not watched early NSX prices that closely, i imagine they are fairly reasonable as well.

hmmm...hard to say. I would really need to test drive the NSX first. This is how I ended up with the S2000. I was going to get a Z3, drove the S and forgot about the Z3 instantly.

Although I have to admit that the NSX has a much higher bar to meet .
