10k into a ROTH IRA?

that's going to take 3 years, as there is a limit to how much you can contribute each year.

wind noise, warmer during the winter, safety in case you roll over, and it just looks so much nicer.

it takes less than 2 minutes to remove it. you just need 1 other person to help you carry it. it's not heavy but just big for 1 person to carry w/o the risk of dropping it.

i've had mine on for a few months already. once the warm weather rolls in, its coming off.

The only reason i would get a hard top is for looks but mostly if i started circuit racing or really heavily modding in which a convertible top might be dangerous. They are nice though. Go carbon if you do

the black soft top doesnt look bad on a berlina.

on a gpw, it kind of looks weird to me.

Id look at an 00-01 - get the older models as they will be the least expensive route to owning an excellent car. If you have the money, now is an excellent time to take some driving courses and learn how to really control a car too.

You'll need the money for tires, insurance, and any wrecks you get into as you learn to drive - nothing personal, but you're inexperienced in any car and statistics show you will likely crash no matter what car you are driving. At least with a car like the S2000 you have great crash ratings and it puts you on the road to rwd experience.

Yea I agree. My drivers ed teacher said that it takes about 5 years for a new driver to be more experienced compared to other drivers. I will probably look at the 01 model then, and yea I will talk to my parents about driving classes. I want to take them to learn stick better, and just everything.
