[s-cars] was: re S-cars in seattle, now:RS2 Rocks!

[Scott Munger]

Don't do it Joe!  I sold our WRX and don't regret it.  I tried to convince
myself that the performance was worth it.  It was great fun, and I loved it,
but the cheap materials, cheap feel and cheap paint really got on my nerves
:-( being used to Audi quality.

I suppose for a go-cart feel, it's great, but at $30k, it's an expensive toy
that will wear out quickly.

My $.02

Then again, once you have the bug... it never seems to be curable :-O
