1) Are you bald?

Yes: Get the convertable
No: Continue to Question 2

2) Do you live someplace where it hasn't rained in 3 years?

Yes: Get the convertable
No: Continue to Question 3

3) Do you not know what snow looks like and put on a turtleneck when the thermostat drops to 60 degrees?

Yes: Get the convertable
No: Continue to Question 4

4) Do you enjoy asking people you don't know questions that only you can answer?

Yes: Get the convertable
No: Continue to Question 5

5) Does you get offended when your place of worship describes heaven without mentioning VTEC?

Yes: Get the convertable
No: Shave your head. Return to Question 1

Seriously the s2000 and 8 are two very good cars that appeal to completely different subsets of people. If I was that in love with convertables I'd get a RX-8 to drive daily and on the track and get something like old Merc. 560SL to cruise around town in when the mood fits.

But that's just me. You're the only one who actually matters in this decision.

If my RX8 was my daily when I owned it, I'd have never replaced it with an S2K, but if the less comfort more raw sports car feel, and of course the unbeatable droptop ability fits your needs, then I think over time you can get used to an S2K. They are VERY reliable, a bit faster, and get several more mpg then the RX8 as well, so that's always a plus. You can't go wrong either way IMO, it just depends on what you want. They each lack what the other has in certain aspects.
