Great article on the terribleness of DC area driving

[Goodspeed]

All good responses. I think I was getting more at - can you actually own a pure sports car (Elise, FFR Cobra, prepped Miata, etc.) in this area and be happy with it? Sporty DD's are perfectly livable, sure. Part of what got me thinking on this is how rarely I actually see such cars - I used to notice going days in the spring/summer without seeing another Miata, and S2K's and such were really rare for me to see too. But 'Vettes, Mustangs, M3's etc. were/are all over the place, I guess because they "work" better around here.
