Lusting for an S2000? I am.

[MXHalofan]

I love DD'ing my legend. I would DD an NSX, but I'd be more paranoid about someone hitting or robbing me ect. I don't even carry full coverage ins on the legend. If something happens to it, I'd be really sad, but Legends are easy to find. What I'd be loosing is a bunch of time spent working on it. The Legend IMO is a awesome car to DD. Low cost, very fun, good gas mpg (6mt), tons of ways to work on it and customize, low risk in case something happens and it needs replaced. Also, there is a glut of parts cars in my neck of the woods. Plus, Legend owners are the best people.

that'd be an awesome catch! If I were in the position to do so, I would be all over it!

nice toy to drive once in a while ? and shift gears at 8500 rpm, if you have other car(s) in your driveway.

Usually when people go for the whole roadster= chic car cliche it's usually because they have no clue what they are talking about, nor have they ever driven one. I am 6'1 and drive a miata (car is a blast btw) guess what I fit pretty fucking well. I got plenty of room top up or down. Have you ever even tried driving an s2k? " Zomg you have to shift gears at 8500 rpm oh noes what am I going to do!" ( who the fuck redlines there car after every shift anyways?) when you drive a car like that it's all part of the fun. Maybe you should stick to driving minivans or something with more room and easier shifting (automatic ftw!!). Kinda of Ironic that someone that complains about a car with no back seat in an argument and has a picture with a car in his sig that surprise, has no back seat.

All of my friends with S's are male and the one who own's the blue one that I posted is actually a pretty big guy, over 6ft and about 275lbs if not more. I can think of 3 more off the top of my head that are over 6ft tall and drive an S. They are much more roomy inside than they look.

It baffles me how you fit in a Miata...

The first time i drove one, hell the first time i got IN one I rammed my knee into the console and the steering wheel. I immediately hopped out the car, sat on the curb and did a peter griffin


Once in the car, everything was just in my face...

That, coupled with the fact that I'm not a particularly big guy, made me apprehensive. While the car was indeed tossable, it was WAY too claustrophobic for me with the top up...



All in all, it's comes down to what you like in a car. I'm not impressed by 150lbs-ft of torque and 9000rpm.... and I'm definitely not impressed by the cruise rev of 3200rpm at 60mph. at 3200rpm I'm doing 85-90mph in the RL...

But this aint about Me... I say do whatcha LIKE! have fun with them if you like'em

brings to mind the last time I got OUT of a miata... I'm a bit chubby, so I ended up having to 'roll' out the door onto the ground!
