maybe, but from what you said about needing a DD and not wanting to attract attention it makes sense.

I agree. I would far rather have the 3 than an s2k as a DD... I couldn't even imagine driving an s2k as a daily driver.. Compared to other cars that are in the 3's price range, from what I have heard, the 3's have so many more options available for the price of the competitions standard prices.

You cant get a better daily car. It looks good, it gets awesome mileage and it is as fun as picking up a drunk milf at a TGIF's bar.

You definitely did the right thing Jesal. Just probably a bad idea to buy the S2K in the first place. At least you didn't lose much.

It's a good car. I've owned two. Now I know why you were asking. I hope I helped a bit.

You should have no problems in it and as a DD it's a good choice.

Whats the under/over, guys? 6 months? a year?

Sorry I just like giving people shit when they ditch their nice cars for something well, not-as-nice. My friend didn't go to a mechanic when a burning smell came up in his S2000, now he's rolling around in a new V6 Accord coupe because a spark plug somehow broke off into the cylinder and broke shit.

Thats just me though.... anyone who sells an S2000 and gets anything less than a C5 is

A guy I work with is 65 years old and is on his third car in his life. He keeps each new car for at least 15 years. I am quite sure I have found jesel's polar opposite

Naw, less than one week. If you shift at 9k rpm in that car, it'll fall apart.
