I'm also a firm believer in the notion that anything that tries to do multiple things well fails at all of them.
The S2000 was designed to be a sports car, nothing else, not a soccer mom vehicle, not a telephone, a jukebox, a movie theater or a cuisinart...just a sports car!
And that is what makes it so great and also part of a dying breed. Mrs. Soccer Mom (which is what car manufacturers seem to want to cater to) wants the car
to do 23578295770235235 things all at the same time. There's just no way that such a vehicle can do any of those things as well as one designed to do just 1 thing.

I look like the "sun screen is your friend" person in Mark's signature picture - unfortunately the one on the far right 
And even more unfortunate, I also look like the woman in the picture of what you get when you leave your top up

Did Hankook Man ever post a review of the RS-3's and the 17" wheels? He has been awfully quiet of late. Very unlike him to keep this info from us this long (unless he already posted his review and I missed it 
)

So here is my dilemma I've been having the last couple of days.
I have to do some traveling this weekend. Mostly highway miles. Weather looks good for Sat, not so much for Sun.
Most of the miles are going to be highway miles (read: boring).
I could take the S, but I don't want to put the miles on it for a boring run.
I could take the Frontier, but it gets lower mileage.
I could take the S which gets better mileage, but it takes premium fuel, probably negating some of the fuel savings.
I'm leaning towards the Frontier...mostly because the roads will not be fun and I don't want the extra miles on the S. The fuel seems a wash.
