Our 1987 Honda Accord had that kind of acceleration! The merge onto 101 from one of the Menlo Park on-ramps was an exercise in blind faith every single time, there was this spot between 30 and 40 mph that you always thought you weren't going to live through. Loved that car, though.
my sister says you should go to "the earth lodge just outside of antigua". you can google it or inquire for more details from her. "they have excellent soup. but no internet."
Oh, man - the working from home-not-home sounds awesome. What kind of cars have you been looking at? If you're looking for a sporty convertible, the Honda S2000 wins Top Gear's motoring survey year after year. People really seem to love it. For my money, though, I'd get a Lotus Elise... if I had a spare $45K just lying around, and I had no need for a practical car. :D Or, if you've got a spare $100K, just go for a Tesla. Bwahahaha.
I don't think the S2000 would fit UBoat. It was several inches short for me, and he's almost as tall as I am. Seems like a fun little car, but it's _tiny_. Same for the Miata, of course - I felt like a clown in that car.
The Beetle might be good - decent storage volume with the back seat folded down, and of course, tons of headroom. I couldn't find a turbo Beetle with a stick shift when I was looking, though. The Mini was reasonably spacious as well.
I felt like I fit just fine into the S2000 - I imagine a Lotus/Tesla might be a tight squeeze, but more like 'snug' than too small. Or maybe that's because the level of performance for the price is so utterly absurd that I'd be willing to tolerate a bit of uncomfortableness. :)
Weird. I didn't even test drive the S2000 because sitting in the showroom model my eye level was above the top of the windshield, so I would never have been able to close the roof. And I thought I remembered that even with the seat all the way back, the steering wheel was between my knees. Anyway.

It was a cute little car, though- felt quite big and roomy.

He's small and mobile - why not?
