i'm wanting (but not needing) another 1/4" top level deck. likely an A-820 or ATR-102......and open to the right A80.

cars don't make sense for me until I retire. I cannot drive a toy car to work and I work 6 days a week. it would just be a trophy. I don't have (enough of) the itch to race. and maybe instead of a car it would end up being a boat when I retire.

my whole life has been cars for 40+ years.

Sounds like a great plan Mike. Sorry for the oxide/scrape flutter dust up exercise the other day...I learned things I didn't know...

Couldn't you drive an NSX?

For a really spendy hobby after you retire, buy a high-end hifi company. Lots and lots of hours, travel the world and visit hifi shows on all 7 continents

old joke; how do you earn a small fortune in high end audio?

start with a large fortune.

I have 8 business trips this year planned.....I don't care if I never see the inside of an airplane again.

and no; unless I want to park (insert trophy car) up away in an off site lot with employee cars, I need to drive my demo. and I drive 25 miles on the freeway to and from work. no fun for some (loud, stiff) adrenalin machine.

an S-2000 is the only consideration for now.

haha. I'm still waiting for the small fortune

The NSX isn't a Honda? When I was back in Singapore, it was the most comfortable and easiest driving of all the "Supercars" I test drove. The S-2000 isn't bad either - for the 25 mile drive. But you're right, it is far more comfortable in your listening chair.

Here's an A820 that just was put on eBay by Fred. Only $5k more than the one I'm trying to sell!
