I drive everything regularly but the CR, which is why I need to get rid of it.

civic - dd
mini - wife's dd
Subaru - rallycross and snow
S2000 - fun and track days
S2000 CR - Zeke

I thought we had this established a few posts ago.

Still waiting for that check.

Really, interesting, you want a BRZ? Any reason in particular, the backseat? I remember reading about the engines popping on track. Picking up the kids is definitely a problem I'll have to deal with as well, but hopefully I can split it with the wife as well. Sometimes I think about a fancy sos turbo kit for the S, but I don't think dropping ~8k will give me as much pleasure as say a whole nother car. For $8k that buys a nice used miata, which would be fun to drive in the winter and play around drifting in the snow. Also I would love to try rallycross as well one of these years..

Yea basically it's as close as I can get to an S2000 with rear seats. The 2017s have a ton of small engine changes that should improve reliability (and a whole 5 more hp lol). They also have an optional track pack that includes brembos etc, (depends how much it costs). It's a bit slower than an S2000 but I'm ok with that for a DD, plus I can always add FI in a few years or trade up if they finally come out with an STI version. My plan is to get rid of the CR and civic and buy something nice that I actually drive everyday. It sucks having a really nice car in your garage that you aren't driving and driving a huge POS with no AC everyday.

Haha.. I dono, as I get older I care less and less what I drive everyday, but maybe that's just me. I remember years ago I stopped by Mr. Brauning's house (Mark Brauning's dad who used to do a lot of drag racing) who was clearly a car guy, and I was surprised to see his daily was an old 4th gen civic HB. He toted engines around and all sorts of crap. His weekend car was an slk amg. He said he just loved the practicality of it. Maybe you just need to fix your AC.

meh, I've been driving a beater long enough, plus my wife just got a new car, so now I want one.

SlowTeg

Haha I hear you. I had a "beater" '92 prelude for a while before I bought my S, so I guess I can't talk. The a/c stopped working for a year or two before I decided it needed to go as well. I guess that's the last straw for most beaters.

haha yea, I had a 93 VTEC... still miss that car

Man, back in the 90's and early 00's that was the car to have. I just had a lowly high mileage Si (needed a cheap beater), but the torque from the 2.3 made for a nice daily driver.

Yea, it was a sweet car. Sold it to my brother's girlfriend at the time and it was stolen and stripped in Columbia MD not too long after. They mostly wanted the engine I'm sure.

SlowTeg

Ouch that sucks.. So many hondas in the early 00's got stolen because people were doing engine swaps. I dono if a non-stolen stock 99/00 civic Si still exists or the integra type-r's..
