Why spend so much on a daily?

I daily drive my S2000 and a modified car isn't something I wanna drive. But thats just me, I wish I had like a lincoln LS or something like that as a daily.

driven mustangs and a few lightnings, i would say its up to you. they are both really similar, but if you think you will need a truck i would get it for that reason.

Lightning! They are awesome trucks and mustangs are like civics. I was looking at them after the economy slowed down thinking the prices would drop but they didnt . So they clearly hold their value well. I need somthing to haul the bike around in and wish they were a bit cheaper.

You must be a big guy b/c my s2k was the best daily I've ever had. So easy to manuver in traffic and zip around town in. Plenty of trunk space for groceries ( for a single dude) ect. It's by far one of the most fun cars to drive on a daily basis. After I sold it I have been bored with every other car including a supercharged ITR. IMO s2k is a great daily I had no problem with it for 3.5 years.
