Default For those that have sold their S2000...

If you have ever owned a S2000 and sold it (or wrecked) and got something else, what did you get and, in a short but descriptive paragraph, why?

---------------------------------------
I recently traded my S for a M5. The S2000 is a GREAT car, but I found that the daily driving of 72 miles to and from work came as a depressing time as I could never "drive" the car as I am stuck in I-15 traffic the whole way and don't live near any real "open" roads, unless I go at midnight, but I work at 6 AM and can't stay up that late anymore. I also wanted more room in the interior and there is something to be said about having torque.

I will miss my S, but hopefullyI will get another one in 10 years as my weekend car.

I don't think if people sell theirs that they are going to see your thread.

Once you pop (VTEC), you can't stop.

Bought a few myself. Recently let one go... very heartbroken indeed.

I was planning on selling it, not driving one for awhile will tend to make you think that way...sell it..sell it. All I had to do was drive my friend's '05 around and figured I would miss the drive.

I'm in the process of selling my AP1. I was planning on getting an AP2, but since I got the bike, I'm not so sure anymore. I'm thinking more in the lines of a Tundra aka bike-hauler.

If those are the two you've come down to, get the Evo. Seriously, it responds VERY well to mods and there are Evo 9's with just drop in filters and flashes getting into the 12's.
