Default What car to buy after type R?????

Is the S2000 the next step up???
I have owned almost every form of Honda....
97 civic, 97 prelude, 98 GSR, 01 R....
I have also thought about getting an Is300 or even a WRX....and I went as low as looking at 4 runners. I am tired of every time I pull in to a gas station I have to pop my hood for some one. Also some one has spit on my car twice in the last couple months, and I have been followed a few times by civic hatches. One guy informed me as he was screaming out the window of his red neck truck, "type R's are for ****"....why didn't some one tell us this!!!!
What is your next ride going to be???....and no one better say my mom....

Hmmm, since your mom isn't an option...

If your that bothered by being a Type-R celebrity why not debadge it and remove the wing?

Mitsu Lancer EVO VII or Nissan 350Z.

Who knows...maybe neither. Maybe I'll hold onto my ITR for life. I already have a hybrid and it's a bit more fun to mod than the ITR (because the ITR is already so tuned...it costs big bucks to get anywhere with it).

I sometimes think that having a nice daily driver (EVO, maybe even a WRX) and keep the hybrid for racing might be the answer to my problems.

I guess I should concentrate less on these new cars coming out and more on getting my **** back in school.

keep the R, that's my advice.
I'm gonna drive mine for a long time, my next purchase is going to be a big one 911 C4S, unless they drop a 2 more cylinders into the NSX.

Recently, I've been toying with the idea of trading in the R in a couple of years for a more luxurious and classy high performance ride. But my senses come back to me knowing how much I would miss the R. Luckily, my girlfriend has found an interest in learning how to drive a manual. So I'm going to bring up the idea of getting a used 1998 4-door BMW M3.

1.) 4-door for future kids
2.) BMW for luxury and class
3.) M3 for high performance

a lot of people told me to dump my teg body and drop all my R parts into a hatch...but the problem is, it's still a hatch. I wouldn't look at my hatchback every day and fall in love like I do with my R...the DC2R is a beautiful car, and yellow just makes it prettier.

To make a hatch look good it would take $10-15k....not worth it.....after all it would still be a hatch. Good for a second car or a track only car, but myself I like girls....hence no civic hatch....

probably very true....but i can work with whatever i get. What i would hope to not do is...buy an evo in 2003 and then the STI gets a redesign in 2004. I don't need the latest....but i'd like to benifit from the next gens stuff.

It's true...women don't like the Civic hatches.

...BUT, if you're buying a car to pick up chicks you're buying a car for the wrong reason IMO. Women love convertibles...and they don't give a shiat about JDM anything.
