I know. It is/was my daily for three years. I love the car but I bought it to drive. Around here I crawl. It's just not fun clutching a few hundred times on my way to work. And it is noisy as hell. I just know I'll never find another car with a shifter this slick or a roadster with a chassis this stiff and a suspension this good. And top down drives to and from work in the S2000 are/were my way to unwind spring/summer/fall. But between the clutch, UV exposure, and hearing damage, I'm ready to move on to another fun car. And frankly, the S2000 is a 10 year old design. It really is starting to look a little dated even though mine is an 08. I think the Crossfire is much nicer looking and fun to drive in a different way. And the Crossfire has lots of stuff the S2000 lacked...Nav, Homelink Transmitter, Power Seats, Torque, Telescoping Wheel, Anonymity (nobody knows these cars), Dual Climate Controls.

I will miss the S2000 but I've eaten my fill. I've experienced every aspect of a great roadster from trailing throttle oversteer, to power on tail out corners, to tenacious grip on roads like goat paths with the wind in my hair and the sun beating down. I look forward to the SRT-6.
