An economy car should be driven like one and a sports car should be driven like one as well.

I love geting 50 mpg in my cobalt but when I get my s2000 (as a weekend car) it will be by total accident if I ever get more then 20 mpg in it. I also will probably only be putting a few thousand miles on it per year.

Whenever I see somone on the s2ki boards asking about better gas milage I always say the same thing. Take a couple of grand and buy a cheap beater.

That will save you money on gas, insuring a sports car as a weekend only and having a beater with limited coverage will probably be about the same cost, your sports car will hold it's value better, you will enjoy your sports car more when you do use it instead of getting ticked off when some moron door dings it in the company parking lot.

Just my $0.02 though.
