Can the Si go 0 to 60 in 5.8 seconds? Can it clear the quarter mile in
14.2 seconds? Does the Si have a power to weigh ratio of 12lbs/hp or
better? Rear wheel drive? If the Si can do all of that, then I would
consider it.

Life it too short to drive vanilla cars. Not that I have a dangerous
occupation or anything but I've always loved high performance cars for
as long as I can remember.

The $1,600 goes up through the years as I get promoted. There will be
times when I won't be spending any money but the car payments in the
off chance of deployment. Deployed I'll be making much more than the
usual.

During the long periods of times when the S2000 is parked I'll put the
optional hard top shell on it and put a good car cover on it. It would
also be insured against hail, tornado, theft, and vandalism during
those times.

But I'm still not going to rush into anything here. I will carefully
consider my options before making such a purchase. It helps that I
know I'll never buy a house. I don't like cleaning and doing yard work
so a much less expensive condo would be in order.
