There's my S2000. I bought it certified pre owned back in October of 2004 and have since put just over 20,000 miles on it. For a while it was my only car, but I've since had a GMC Sierra (for all of 8 months) and now my 1999 Honda Accord (no pics, just picture a silver sedan).

The S2000 has been great. Just as fast as my 2004 Mustang GT, but better in the corners, convertible, and much better mpgs. I haven't driven it as much until the last few weeks because I like to keep the miles off of it when it comes to general commuting. It's also hard to drive it every day while trying to get good gas mileage because every time I get it in I feel the urge to hit that screaming 9,000rpm redline.

That is one of the shortcomings of small displacement Honda I4 engines. You have to make it scream and whine to extract all the power and they are usually low on torque, which is more important in everyday driving than HP. Its a one sweet looking car with bright yellow.

On the side note: The green Lotus Elise in the back ground in 2nd picture looks beautiful with underbody diffusers. It also screams as lod as your S2000 if not louder at high rpms.
