I’ll start. It’s the 911 Dakar. I’ve always been a massive fan of the Safari models. But being this off-road capable is insane, and not to mention that it might be one of the best daily driven cars ever made. I always loved big boxy SUVs for daily driving, but this seems to combine my 2 favorite things.
I need another s2000 in my life. I had one for a few years but it was destined to be only a bachelor mobile. Sold it, took the money for a minivan and have … that sense of not regret but longing for that hole it left me with to be filled back again. It was the right move at the time as I’m way out of my bachelor zone (got 1 kid with another on the way). And minivan does a proper job hauling family needs and tows the drift car just fine! But there was something about cruising top down and pushing an s2000 to its limits on track, or even 6/10ths on some lonely backroads that was just… man. I want that feeling back. And it was such a comfortable cruiser with how I had it setup. Ugh. I miss it. Maybe when the kids are outta daycare.
You’ll get another someday, sounds like you’ve got your priorities in order. My kids are now in 3rd and 8th grade and I just bought my first S2K, an '02 with 13k miles. The great thing about these cars is that there are still a lot of garage queens out there waiting for you!
As a former Prelude pilot, I can only assume Honda hates money for not continuing the S2k.
