Thanks. I'm not a McLaren F1 fan for some reason. Styling rather than performance, I think?

How on earth did I forget the M5!

I've long said that if I could only own one car to accomodate everything in my life that the M5 would be it!
Brant beat me to it.

If the car isn't my daily driver and it has to be pre 1999, I'd invest in a collectable sports car from the 50s or 60s. Look cool, have fun, enjoy appreciation rather than suffer through depreciation.

The cars I actually cross-shopped with the S2000 were used so this is an easy question for me. My number one choice would be a 85 308 gtsi-QV or this would be a stretch to find a good one for 35k but it's possible an early 993 series 911 or a 964 series 911 this would be easy to find a mint condition example in the high twenties.

I don't think I'd want to own a car older than MY 2000. But if I were going to, I'd try my best to find a decent NSX in that range (although, this seems very hard to do, especially in Canada).
