That doesn't explain why you bought an S2000 instead of a Miata!
General laziness...
Besides, I have the 240Z. 2300 lb., 245rwhp, beats up on Z06's, Vipers, 911 Turbos and the like

No, you can not listen to your new CD on it. No, it won't be a good idea to go out on a day with a chance of rain. No, you will have very little recourse if it's boiling hot outside and you need a cool breeze of air. No, you're probably not going to go daily driving to and from work or the grocery store. This is not a first and only car. This probably isn't a second car, either. This is a third, fourth, or whatever car. This is for people who can afford to drop about 70 grand on a car and have it sit in the garage for most of its life, doing nothing, just waiting to be taken out on one of those perfect days.
There is no rationalization for this car or comparing to another car in any way, it would most likely lose. Most people want more practicality, most people would look for more performance per dollar. This is for that small percentage of people who just have the money to burn.
I think it's fantastic, and for the people that can enjoy such a car, life is good.
