I loved my S2000 but the ISF beats it for DD duty in almost every aspect IMO. The manual gearbox can make it more fun to drive than the ISF but you don't get to enjoy it very much while DDing. Paddles work well enough for me to give me a little fix of nostalgia if/when I need it.
I was never much for convertibles though (always used hardtop), so maybe why I don't miss it as much.
2nd vehicle for me would probably be a truck/SUV for hauling stuff. Never thought I'd want one but owning a house has definitely changed my perspective on that.
Sometimes I dream about having a faster/nicer or restored classic car as a 2nd/3rd car but I held on to S2000 for a long time as that role and in the end I felt bad for not driving it very much. I found myself making excuses *not* to drive it... It came to the point where it was really more of a garage queen... that is how I knew it was time to sell it. I don't regret my decision. Maybe one day that will change for me but for now I'm happy with my one nice car.

That's my daily...the other vehicle I want to add to my garage is a Lotus Evora 410 or the upcoming Cayman GT4...I wouldn't mind an Ariel Atom 4 as a true weekend warrior.

I want another DSM for a fun car. 90-91 Eagle Talon TSI AWD Automatic. Definitely won't be a fun DD, but something to have fun with around town. I'm sure the stall will be too much for my 50mi drive to work.

we always take my car because they never run... but when they run they are fast cars.

Not quite true. Don’t have an ISF anymore as I traded it for GSF and then that GSF for the new 10th Anni GSF. But, have 7000 miles on my LFA. Drive it regularly as it is very driveable. They are all great cars.
