Oh yes, that's the secret code. I've saved alot of bikes by giving them that signal. Ive had them do it to me a few times.

This morning, I was driving topdown to Safeway, as I was looking for parking, a little five year old girl just got out of the store, all happy with her candy, crosses the pedestrian crosswalk with her mom, then glimpse at my car and does a double take, with gleaming eyes of awe, pulls her mom hands "look mommy look...I want that car!" As I slowly pass them, both turned their heads as I roll, still looking as I kept going, disappearing into a sea of parked cars. Lol now, thats the story

I seem to get mostly positive feedback. I do notice after a fresh Wash&Wax, when i leave it parked for a day or two, i come back to 'finger tracks' all over my clean paint.

I suppose i should be glad they're not 'key tracks'...

Rarely if ever do I get any response which is they way I like it - just go about my business incognito!

My brother does call me a ricer for having the big wing...haha

(he thinks I need a more grown-up car) but I do find myself having less time to enjoy the s2000 since I usually need a backseat to fit my daughter. At least I can admire her from my office

With the CR, a lot of people seem to notice the yellow paint, canards, wing, and tonneau before they realize it's an s2000. So I'll get people who look at the car once, get a surprised look and do a double-take, then have a disappointed look as if to say no, I guess I don't need to snap a pic with my phone.
