Evo IX is about to be launched probably for 2006, but the completely new Evo
will be out as an Evo X in 2007, just about when I'll get rid of mine.

PS Did you get any problems with warped front disks?

Phew, thought you meant the Evo then ! Hmm, I'd love another 50bhp though.

I was looking at the S2000 when I bought the Z4, but everything pointed to
it not being good as a daily driver with no alternatives.  The Z4 is a great
compromise between comfort, utility, and sport (even with the 2.5).  Love
the styling too.  Still, I'd love an S2000 for the more agressive weekend
runs.

Mine's a daily driver. It's got leather, AC (very very important in
Arizona), a short, snicky six speed, and a great engine note. What
more do you need?

Of course the trunk isn't big enough for hauling furniture or
Costco runs, but that's what the pickup is for.

Well, I'll pick up a Ferrari 550 Maranello to go along with it then.

I drove an Integra GS-R for several years (a lot of road noise) and was
ready for something that could double as a psuedo "luxury" vehicle.  For
instance, if the top's up (lined in the Z4), I want it quiet.  Also, the
interior's more cabin than***pit.  And having lived with the GS-R's 8k
redline, I was ready for the growl of an inline six rather than the scream
of an inline four when I do flog it.  Maybe I'm aging prematurely (at 26?),
but I don't want to feel like I'm in a track car ---all the time---.  Just
staring into an S2000 I can feel that vs. the Z4 being more of a --touring--
'vert though still a great performer.

Don't get me wrong.... I love the purposeful interior and scalpel-like
approach of the S2000, and I imagine it's far more engaging when running
hard.  I just wanted something more "stately" and less "racy."  And hey, the
Z4 may not be razor sharp or the 2.5i super fast in a straight line (nice
grunt though), but it's still a hoot in the twisties and can hold its own
there.  As my only car, it has the compromises I was looking for.  I just
wish I could've afforded the 3.0i.  Besides, it's not like I bought an SLK!

cab 4wd...  noisy sob, nickname is the 'trash truck' Ala my brother...
"because when you hear it coming down your street, you jump up thinking the
trash truck is coming, and you think you forgot to get the trash out..."  It

I am part owner of 97 cars as part of a cooperative in Vanvouver
Canada. Nothing too ***, but we just got a Mini Cooper and a New
Beetle which are kind of fun. The real fun I have in driving is in
having instant, convenient access to so many different vehicles.

I can't imagine owning my own individual car again, what a pain in the
arse.
