Default Trading S2K for R32

I've been driving the s2000 for about 2 years now. Everyday it gives me a different reason to love and appreciate it even more. Everyday when I see the S parked, I find a new angle from where the car looks amazing. I absolutely love this car. This was the car I used to point to and tell my friends that I will have this.. One day..

Well, 2 weeks ago I was ready to trade it in and get a VW R32. I found one close to my house and went to look at it. Test drove it. Then drove the S again.

Result?

I don't want to trade the S for ANYTHING.

I couldn't do it. Just looking at the front end of the S I kept thinking to myself, do I really want to get rid of this nimble, beautiful machine?

No, I don't.

If I would've gotten rid of this car.. I would've been diagnosed with serious depression a week later.

I'm glad I kept the s2000. I will cherish it even more now on.

Thank you guys for listening to my rant.

I was hoping you meant a Skyline when I saw the title. The VW I could never see as an equally fun/sexy replacement. An R32 GTR I could let slide however. I would say you made the right choice! I've owned mine over a year and I still look at it and think "Damn, I love that car!"

The only reason I wanted to switch to a R32 was because of the back seat and the all wheel drive.

Worked with German cars, owned them from the start. VW and Audi have to be some of the worst cars to depend on. Looks good, not built the best. Good choice though. You saved yourself from maintenance/repair hell.

You got it wrong, the 33 is the ugly one. That rear is hideous. 32 ftw.
