You'd have to spend A LOT more to get a comparable drivers car with the exception being the MX-5.

But yeah I think an effort should be made in educating people what makes a good drivers car.

As mentioned there is far too much emphasis on HP / test track #'s. Many of the funniest cars to drive are not amongst the quickest.

To be honest I have no idea why I'm doing it. At dinner tonight I told my gf I have no idea why she even wants the car tinted. She denied everything and confused the hell out of me. Who wanted the S to get tinted?

Doesn't matter because Jay (GM_Traitor3.5) already set up our back to back appointments. Now that I think about it I bet it was his idea... he didn't want to go by himself. :bowrofl:

Either way, it will be nice to have when you have to drive with the windows up. I think I'm doing 50% sides (legal limit in VA) and 35% on the rear window.

Yeah It was suppose to be "funnest" Not "funniest". Super funny stuff I know. I couldn't stop laughing for the life of me....

My phone has a tendency to auto-wrong words from time to time.

Your phone does that because "funnest" is not a word :roflpuke2:



Back on topic: Steve, post pics when you get it done I would like to see this!

But the S2k is not a fun car, at all. It's a very serious car. Ergo, S2000, as in Serious 2000. Duh.
