If you're going to get a Honda roadster, I'd say get the real thing:

2005-Honda-S2000-05802081000001.jpg


I have an '05 in white, and it screams.

As for getting that Beat into the U.S., it's going to be tough getting it legally registered in this country because the DOT regs require modern cars to pass crash testing and emissions standards. When a local tuner shop began importing Skyline GTR's into the U.S., they had to run a few GTRs into a wall to clear the test standards.

If you don't comply with the law, the Feds can come after you, which is what happened with a shop that tried importing and selling recent vintage Alfas a few years ago. The owners of those cars were left with having to destroy them or exporting them out of the U.S.

The leather can get real hot if I leave the top down too long. But their real comfortable and hug my body perfectly. I've actually never sat in a del Sol seat but other Sol owners say mine a lot more comfortable.

And when it comes to the ladies (for you single guys), there is no method of birth control more effective than the Smart Car.

depends on the girls he's after.

savvy, thoughtful girls will likely dig the smart.

most women really don't care that much anyway, as long as the guy is decent and employed.

Why, cause it's ugly or because there's no back seat? :)
That would be ugly. :D

Reality check - Eric, you're fooling only yourself, if you don't think the guy with a hot car will have more hot women drooling over him and his car than a guy in a ugly car. Trust me, I speak from past experience.

going from having a ford escape to tricked out mustang i can tell you from experience that I get a lot more attention from the girls with the mustang. Or maybe it was my girlfriend that caused the attraction.. you never know lol.

btw.. was just typing on my macbook pro keyboard after typing on the new style keyboard with my mac pro and it feels soooo different. I don't know which one I like more but the macbook pro has a lot more "give" (the buttons god down a lot farther when you hit them) then the mac pro keyboard. I'll start a new thread in a couple weeks when I decide which keyboard I like better.

Ah! I want one so bad. They are VERY well reviewed as well. Maybe someday...

I love Honda's. I have my 81 Civic, my 99 Prelude, and I WANT the s2000.

Someday...

I really want another S-10 when this one goes.

Probably gonna want to get a newer one.

Either that or a Volkswagen Golf. Can't decide.

Since the thread is about wishing, my eyes are screwed shut and I'm concentrating as hard as I can on this.

It's a 1938 Buick, believe it or not.

Darn. It still isn't parked out front. Gotta wish harder.

Now you've got me wishing for it.

That is a beautiful car.

Possibly the most beautiful car I've ever seen.

Well, while we are wishing, why don't we all send a big wish that all the crazy cars we are wishing for suddenly become the most eco friendly cars out there. ;)

Interesting cars here!

Well, I've got a collection of 250+ cars that emit zero emissions, and use zero resources on a continuing basis. They also all fit on my book shelf. :D
