I was stationed in Korea last year...I can't believe anyone would drive anything other than a tank in Seoul. I was in 3 accidents in Seoul in 6 months...and I was on a BUS! None of this will matter anyway since Kim Jung Il will be vaporizing it soon.

I was in a cab in Beijing...not too bad.

Cab in Bangkok was a nightmare...we used to get drunk, tell the cabby we were in a hurry and tell him we would give him double if he would get us there in a ridiculously short amount of time. What a hoot!

I thought the fact that you blacked out your plate was hilarious.

I have a new-found respect for the S2000. I was out exercising my Mustang GT this weekend. Lined up next to an S2000, and he walked away from me like I had missed a shift. Very humbling experience.

Nice car. Did you get the Nuke-Proof Package, I hope?

I like S2000's. If I was looking to spend 30k on a new sports car the S2k is the hands down winner in my book.

I dig the S2000s. That is the car that eventually led me to my Boxster. I'll get one sometime..... they are probably the best bang for the buck roadster out there!

just roadster?
S2000 is the best bang for the buck sports car period.

But going on six years now its due for an overhaul in exterior design.

I Would love to see something ground breaking for a japanese car
something more European-like but new in a way that would make the Euros
look outdated and the Japanese their usual run of the mill (begging for mods which gave birth to the whole import tuner phenom).

I think its safe to say that the Italian exotics are the most coveted sports cars and
something along the lines of a Lambo or Ferrari in exterior/interior design but with Japanese engineering/reliability would be sports car nirvana.
Really no one at the momment has achieved that. That's what I would be striving for if I were in a position to make such calls.

Last time I was in Seoul, I saw 99% Hundai / Kia, and the other 1% was BMW / Mercedes types .. I am guessing CEOs?

Never saw a Porsche.

Nice S2K though.
