The S2000 hold value pretty well, aren't nearly as expensive to run, are more durable (imho) than German cars and are just as much fun at the Autox/DE.
win, win, win, win.

Wait until the second hand C7's and ZL1 Camaro's get cheap. They'll be unbeatable on all of the above. With a stick stirer instead of Xbox handles.

Haha i agree about the s2000 completly, i just cant afford one in the first place, they do not hold value, they are apreciating... no joke, not at a steady price, rather appreciating, and its because so many are being riced out and destroyed for the purist causeing few good examples left, but it is a very polarizing car, for each one that is riced out and ruined there is one kept in a garage driven by a calm old couple only on weekends with low miles . My mother was very very close to buying a s2000 before the economy flopped, wish she would have, on occasions i would possibly prefer it to the boxster. As for your chevy fetish, american crap will always be american crap, weather fast or not haha.
