Default About to pull the trigger....but need a favor.

Hey guys,

I currently drive a MY07 s2000 and am about to pull the trigger on a base non-touring 370 with sports package and manual tranny. Current car:







Now, i testdrove a touring w/ auto at a dealership and i was pleasantly surprised. However, those darn dealerships only give you like a mile of local road per testdrive and you can't even really explore the car's behavior with that kind of a short drive on PERFECT roads. I really would like to make the purchase soon but don't want to be surprised after the purchase with flaws that would have initially altered my decision.

If any one of you fellas would be generously accommodating enough to let me come over and check your car out, i'd greatly appreciate it. I obviously wouldn't be driving your car but i would like to get some time as a passenger on a very short fwy run (to notice road noise), good roads, bad roads (haha im not asking for you to go over potholes), just the general feel of the car in a more extensive manner than what i was able to extract from the testdrive. I also want to hear from enthusiasts, not sales people about the car, etc.

I know this is a lot to ask, especially me being a stranger, but i will provide you any info you want (you can hold onto my wallet, cell phone, car keys, etc) or any other measures you'd like to take to make sure to protect yourself. Please pm me if you're willing to help a brother out and I will try to set up an appt with you. Preferably weekends are better....but i work in beverly hills, California everyday as an analyst for Smith Barney and end at 5pm....so i guess evenings work too if it's late enough. I am willing to drive upto a 30 mile radius so let me know.

Cheers,

Tim
