Its not like this is a "honda S2000" board or anything.
And this is the "Car Talk" section of the board -- you know .... where we discuss other cars.....

do us all a favor and sell your s2k(you don't want it anyway its a Honda) and spend your time at the bmw boards you'll fit right in(snobbery wise
Uhh who said my not loving my S2000 has anything to do with it being a Honda? If you read my post I list some issues I have with the car. Since it appears you don't -- I will recap.

1. Too much bumpsteer
2. Too much oversteer built into the chassis
3. The rear end exhibits many traits inherent to solid rear end.
4. (and this is kinda touchy) Build quality. 3 trips so far to the dealer for me, although I may not be the norm (with the exception of the common TSB 54 issue).

-Steve (who also owns a 01 Type R and loves it - even though it's a ... *gasp* Honda).

Could it be I said that because this is a Honda S2000 board that happens to also have a "car talk" section. So i don't know maybe its conceivable that there are more S2000 owners here than BMW owners.

I could be wrong.

Boy your a quick one??.............Did you even read my last post "Errr". There are clearly more S2000 owners on the whole board. If you think <--(questionable) otherwise I'm sorry but your just wrong. I understand this is the Car Talk section, but this is an S2000 board sooo..... ummm.... who do you think is mostly posting in this section, people with or without S2000's?

AGAIN have fun with your bmw

Wow!!
Why can't we just relax? Some guys like BMWs, some guys like Hondas, some guys like both. "Snobbery" happens on EVERY board. I'm sure there's a Kia board somewhere with members talking down to Daewoo owners. Its a part of the whole "car enthusiast" thing. Although this board is a little more open minded (possibly because so many of us own second or third cars of varying makes and models?) "snobbery" still exists here, too. But that's no reason to attack someone because of his opinion.
We can debate about racing history and car design without asking people to go to another board because they have an opinion. Sheesh. Let's all be grown-ups here.


That said...I like and respect the Ms, think the Zs are just silly looking (too much fender, not enuough tire I think) and know the S could be better. But I bought one anyway

I bet you think a Volvo is much better looking than a Viper. . . or a Ford LTD is much better looking than a Boxter S . . .

You probably think Maud on Golden Girls looks better than Natalie Portman . . .

All BWMs look so 1999 . . .

I think you need to loosen up your bowtie and pick up a copy of Style Magazine at your local Bazarro World newstand
