Dont build many 3 legged tables or chairs now, do they? Lol
Thing might beat a Miata ... Until it rains... Or until your wife doesn't want to get her hair messed up
Hey, it's kinda like a motorcycle in that way.

There's a huge difference between 2 wheels in the front vs. two wheels in the back.
Besides, they have such sophisticated control systems now that roll-overs etc. are almost impossible. A lot of people were actually mad that the nannies on the Can-Ams preventing hooning the Spyders as much as they'd like.

Used S2000's for the win!! Get them while they're still relatively cheap. Hands down the best car I've owned...

Well THAT stirred up the pot a bit.....

S2000 is a cool car. Love to have one, if I were richer or more impractical. Same with the Miata, or a TR6, or a Midget, or a 59 Vette in red and white.

Depends on your definition of "impractical". Sure, it's only got 2 seats, but how many other sports cars weigh under 2900 lbs, have 120 hp/liter, rev to 8300, 50:50 weight distro, limited slip diff, slick 6 speed, AND have the reliability/maintenance schedule of an Accord? 52k miles on mine so far and it's yet to go to the dealership since I bought it. And I don't exactly baby it.
Practical enough for me!

Haha...that's about 30 years more foresight than I've employed! My Grandpa had an '84 300ZX, I thought that was about the coolest thing in the world.
