Thanks Guff. I definitely want to stay under $15k but s2000's are at the top of my list for sure and they are some of the cheaper insurance options!

Those would be my top choices. My two good friends drive drive both the WRX and TL, both very quick and fun.
I drove a TL for a couple years and while I love that car, it's a bit of a boat and not good on gas. I'd love to find an ITR but finding one with low miles is really tough. The M3 is a possibility, I'm just concerned about maintanence costs. Thanks for the ideas!

Acura TSX - out of my price range
Honda Fit - hate hatchbacks
Honda Prelude -possibility if low mileage
Infiniti G20 - possibility if low mileage
Infiniti G35 - would love it but bad MPG
Lexus IS300 (hard to find manuals) - would love it but bad MPG
Lexus SC300 (hard to find manuals) - would love it but bad MPG
Mazda MX-5 and Miata - good idea
Mazda Protege and Mazda3 - possibly
Scion tC - not a big fan
Toyota Celica GT and GT-S - possibly
Toyota MR-2 Spyder - possibly but sort of underpowered/hard to find
Thanks for the suggestions!
