Your opinion is far from the norm, especially since you bought a terrible Dodge Charger with chrome wheels, aka America's mid-size rental car.

If you like your S, keep it. Trade or sell the Outback, and buy the new Ridgeline. And only do that if you need a bed. Most who buy trucks don't even use the bed or use it once a year. I'm pondering buying the new Ridgeline but I'll only do it if I start regularly attending track days again (Two wheels hence the need for the truck). For many years now, when I need a bed, I've just rented a truck from HD, for that particular task, and been done with it.

Should I sell my S2000 and my DD Outback and buy a Tundra or Ram or keep the S, the 56 and the Outback? Just looking for people's thoughts on what they would do in my situation. Thanks folks.
You haven't been through that much... I say sell it.

I kid though, 03 are the best year IMO, I wouldn't sell an S2000 that I had held onto for that long, the next guy won't appreciate it as much as you do. I dunno about the outback, maybe sell that and put some real miles on your S2000 instead.

If you never use it sell it, if you drive it then don't sell it. Pretty simple.

As a classic truck owner ('65 Chevy C10), keep the s.

You should keep it because everyone here would keep it....

I sold my original Ap1 and bought an R32, didn't like it, bought an AP2.
I'm ready to move on, it's a good car but it's not the end all be all of cars.

You have, as well as bash S2000s on a forum dedicated to S2000s, but besides that... I don't brag about buying boring rental cars thinking they are anything but a boring rental car.

I think it's more that all signs point to that the S2000 will appreciate. Having a clean, unmolested S2000 will be worth quite a penny in the coming years.

Is it the best sports car/roadster? No (then again, what is?). Is it a great one? Absolutely. It's routinely on 'best cars of all time' lists for a reason.

I wish I could find a boring rental car that had almost 500 hp on my local enterprise lot. 9.99 weekend special please!

I rented a F10 M5 from Hertz at DFW airport and thrashed it at the track. I think it was 230 a day all in, not too bad.
