However, I tried some out this summer, and I thought...hey, not bad!
They're stylish, luxurious, comfortable...and fast!
Plus they have the cachet of status and prestige.
Yeah...I can imagine driving one through town, down by the beach with the wind blowin' through my hair....
That'd be the life I tell ya!
So, any sports car lovers here? Have ya owned any?
What are your favorites? Which in you opinion are overrated?
What are the downsides of owning one?
Discuss....

The much revered and now highly sought after Honda S2000. The most powerful non-turbo engine ever produced for a mass production vehicle.
9000rpm.
Tons of unique and specific innovations; electric (not hydraulic) power steering. True LSD. 50-50 weight distribution, with cross member for maximum structural integrity and stiffness for a convertible. Engine, gearbox, drive train, exhaust and fuel injection all unique to this vehicle and this vehicle alone. No parts from other cars utilised.
A true legend, and a pride and joy.
And no, its not for sale...

That's an Alfa Romeo. One of the few they built that was any good. It has a throaty, distinctive exhaust note and is quite zippy for its time. But like all Alfa's, it suffered reliability and quality problems, especially electrical.Quote from: "Black Dog"

This is, as the other person mentioned, and Alfa Romero GTV. The one I had was a 1971. Wow that sounds old. It had a 1750 cc fuel injected engine, duel cam shafts. 5 speed gear box. Yes it did have a throaty sound to it. Some years later I had an 1976 Alfa Spider. With a bored out 2000 cc engine. It was an ex race car with a full roll cage. No heater or AC. It did have a radio. Wife at the time hated that car. Daughter loved it.

What kind of car do you drive JOE?Quote from: "Fashionista"
I've driven many, Fash. From luxury sedans right up to 32' stretch limousines and party busses.
The one I drove this year was a Mercedes S series sports coupe which comes in at a price range between $150,000 to $225,000 US or $2 to 300,000 Canadian. That was quite an experience and whet my appetite for more. If you ever come to Vancouver, I'll give you a ride around the town in one.
Otherwise, the only sports car I ever owned was an old FIAT 124s.
But it rusted out and eventually got taken to the dump.
Those cars weren't made for the rainy wet coast of canada.

Yeah, there's a place in Vancouver that has all those classic models.
Sometimes I pop by for a visit, take pictures.
I'll post the when I get the time.
Sometimes I get close enough to touch them.
That's really cool, to be able to touch the grill or the hood ornament of a rolls or a jag. Awesome cars.
However, I don't think they get much action. They're mostly for show and the owners bring 'em out oaccasionaly for show, car shows, etc.
I think you'd have to have a barn somewhere out in the boonies to house all those cars in one place.

Grew up with those in the driveway at different times. Bug eyed Sprite was first sports car my Dad bought. Drove the Healey with the 3 carb setup. It drove like it was on rails. Shifted the others since I was too small to drive them. The Alpha was cool with dual overhead cams and dual Weber carbs. Dad used to tune the carbs with a waterhose held to his ear and the other end on the intake. Tuned it by tone. Neighbor raced and would bring his cars to my dad for the final tweak. He always got just a little extra out of them. Also had a Berkley for a short time that we put a Harley motor in. Bought a bare frame and built a formula 4 car in the garage. Body, nose and everything else had to be fabricated. NSU prince motor in it. Also had an MG for a while that I was able to borrow a few times.

It was a removable hardtop with soft top under - as does our current boulevard cruiser ....
Never was a true sports car buff - like a car to look sporty, be fast and handle well, but also luxury interior and decent ride
When young always wanted a Healey - also more a luxury cruiser than a sports car
- also had smooth sculptured look like out current "LUV BRD"

Had a Mercedes like this one for a while .... maybe a bit newer .... it was very much like this one overall and this color ... I do recall 1800 or 2800 on tailQuote from: "Daisy May"(//%3C/s%3E%3CURL%20url=%22http://assets.hemmings.com/story_image/465131-900-0.jpg?rev=2%22%3E%3CLINK_TEXT%20text=%22http://assets.hemmings.com/story_image/%20...%20.jpg?rev=2%22%3Ehttp://assets.hemmings.com/story_image/465131-900-0.jpg?rev=2%3C/LINK_TEXT%3E%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E)
It was a removable hardtop with soft top under - as does our current boulevard cruiser ....
Never was a true sports car buff - like a car to look sporty, be fast and handle well, but also luxury interior and decent ride
When young always wanted a Healey - also more a luxury cruiser than a sports car
- also had smooth sculptured look like out current "LUV BRD":wink: (//%3C/s%3E%3CURL%20url=%22http://srv2.betterparts.org/images/austin-healey-3000-10.jpg%22%3E%3CLINK_TEXT%20text=%22http://srv2.betterparts.org/images/aust%20...%20000-10.jpg%22%3Ehttp://srv2.betterparts.org/images/austin-healey-3000-10.jpg%3C/LINK_TEXT%3E%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E)

This was a pretty hot ride for its time. I believe this one is a 1959. I adore the lines of the car. A glorified Volkswagon, and susceptible to rust, but a beautiful car.
Awesome Sea...I took this pic of an earlier model ('56 maybe?) last year at a German Car Show.

Seaman's boat the "Sea Major" is a death boat. He sold it to a member of a Canadian rock band, who shortly thereafter ended up getting swept overboard and perishing.Quote from: "Angry White Male"

Oh my goodness.
Wikipedia
Smith originally studied guitar, and at the age of twelve moved to bass. He was majoring in English at the University of Manitoba when he received a call from Paul Dean in Vancouver inviting him to join the band known today as Loverboy.
After Loverboy disbanded in 1988, Smith was part of the band Dangerous, along with Mike Reno and Brian MacLeod. He also worked as a late-night radio DJ at CFOX, albeit briefly.[1][3] Loverboy got back together for a benefit concert in 1991, and then reunited in 1993 and continued touring through the 1990s. Smith said in an interview, "We're back because we like to rock and simply because promoters want to book us."[4]
On November 30, 2000, he was sailing his boat, the 11-metre (36.09 foot) Sea Major,[5] with two friends off the coast of San Francisco near the Golden Gate Bridge, when a freak 8-metre (26.25 foot) wave swept him overboard. A Coast Guard search, and then one by a private company hired by friends and family, ended in vain.[6][7] Experts say Smith could not have survived more than two and a half hours in waters that cold. He was 45. The band toured in his memory the following year.

Took he and his women for a sea trial. They loved the boat. Sea Major was in perfect condition. I always kept her that way. He made an offer the next Monday. Wasn't too smart for him to round the Farallon islands in November. The boat did well there and back. Scott.. Scott didn't. RIP Scott.

The much revered and now highly sought after Honda S2000. The most powerful non-turbo engine ever produced for a mass production vehicle.
9000rpm.
Tons of unique and specific innovations; electric (not hydraulic) power steering. True LSD. 50-50 weight distribution, with cross member for maximum structural integrity and stiffness for a convertible. Engine, gearbox, drive train, exhaust and fuel injection all unique to this vehicle and this vehicle alone. No parts from other cars utilised.
A true legend, and a pride and joy.
And no, its not for sale...
