I would... but I'm odd like that.  It's for the same reasons as why I chose an AP1 over the AP2 S2000.  I don't know... I've just got a soft spot for the "base" or basic version.

S3, E4.

I will relish the day when a car manufacturer advertises “the largest frunk in its class”!

“This is how the world ends..."

 Four-wheel steering? What could possibly go wrong?  Oh... wait...

 Doesn't this fall in the shoulders of the harbor pilots, though?

This makes me want to go hug a copy of my DD-214.

Is it even possible to "end" a meme?

I blame Kinja.  Viewed on mobile and it would let me expand into additional responses.  Not a big deal; I'm just as disappointed as everyone else who wants it.

I’m not ashamed at all. I love this car. I’ve got an S2000 and S1000RR for play toys. I’d pay asking and DD this car for the next 10 years until Jalopnik runs an article on me when I hit 500,000 miles.

“or, yes, a six-speed manual, though you can only get the manual on a premium hatchback trim, and in front-wheel drive.”

You missed the bit about “and in FWD.”

COTD material, right there!

When new, maybe. But that 2004 GT w/ 70k miles likely aged with a lot less grace than this S2000 seems to have. I love (and owned) both cars, but I’ll never part with the S2K.  Admittedly I'm biased but the S2000 was definitely more fun to drive.

No bullshit. 124k miles, original clutch, new OEM ragtop. Guy recently offered me $18k. I declined. Also “laughably” stock except for stronger retainers because Honda did a fine job with it and I didn’t want to bork it up.

Economy?  This isn't Eve Online.  The economy exists in GTAO solely to justify microtransactions.

Is this accounting for inflation?  I bought a 2009 Silverado Z71 in 2008 for about $36k brand new.  Dept. Of Labor's CPI calculator puts that value at $47k today which is the price of a nearly identical truck sitting at a dealership in my city.  Regardless I'll be keeping my Ridgeline, which I traded the Silverado…

This is one of the few games I can remember playing vividly. And lost friends playing it worse than Uno. 

I agree with nearly every point you’ve made, but I’m keeping my side hustle. It’s both therapy and catharsis. I enjoy buying horribly modified cars from impound auctions, returning them to stock, and flipping them. I won’t get rich doing it, but I love hunting for the parts I need and making a few hundred bucks on the…
