I have my 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe RSPEC for the fun car. Sticky tires, brembo brakes, and a healthy dose of power make for a good time.

I dont like you.

My car might not sound like much if you've never driven one. I have a 00 Mazda Protege with the 1.8 liter in it. While it doesn't sound like much these cars handle the curves very well. Of course I have some plans for it down the road.

600! Holy.... That time I was down there a few years ago (forget the year now, 2008 maybe, or 2007) we were at Fontana Dam when what became dozens of Minis started turning up and there was a wedding. Heh. Total coincidence that it happened to be Mini weekend. Don't have a Mini, and my drive on the Tail the a couple days later (also really by accident, just chose the opposite route as the earlier day, was shuttling someone from/to their AT thru-hike) was, as I mentioned, in a boring car (Toyota Matrix automatic).

Anyway, the Integra is modestly fun as a daily driver, but it's a 2000 LS, so only very modestly. No tuning going on here.

A dedicated "fun" car. No.

I've always had daily driven fun cars.

My next, hopefully by then end of the year, will be a Scion FR-S, or Subaru BRZ.

I can't afford a weekend car and frankly don't see the value. I want to drive the car everyday an get the most out of it as possible.

Our family car is a 2011 Sonata Turbo but the weekend car is a '00 Honda S2000. It was tracked for a while and is now used for top down cruising of all sorts... after almost 13 years it only has 60K miles on it.
