That was me coming back from Honda dealer. Sorry I did not see you waving plus the music was loud so I did not hear you beep. Don't know what I was thinking in not putting top down. Oh by the way it's a spa yellow.

When I was at the Honda dealer the other day all of the employees who I had to deal with were very helpful and were giving lots of compliments on vehicle. One of the service workers was saying how these cars very rarely come into the dealership and that they don’t really see to many of them. I know that they are educated in how to service and fix them, but I Kind of felt like I was bringing them some Exotic sports car. Does this happen alot?

Not an S2000 sighting, but I saw the first Veloster in that orange color (Vitamin C ) on the thruway past Rochester on my way home today.

I would have driven the S but I don't like to park it at Petsmart.

Amended post to appease a fellow color snob... ?

Wish I trusted my current closest dealer enough to bring the S in. I find all the people I deal with nice and most are helpful, I also know their service advisors get paid on commission and I can not even tell you the horror stories I know first hand from many disgruntled former dealership customers who have had thousands of dollars of work recommended to repair a $100 problem.

I reluctantly brought my Fit in for two open recalls but unless I break up with Tom or move to WG, my babies won't be serviced there

If you do break up and move to WG, you can go to Doug's preferred shop, Ontario Honda.

Excellent point Having a place I trust is an important consideration for any move

Before I moved to Bennington VT (from further north) I visited the local Honda dealer and talked to the service advisor there - who I was pleased to find, was a very knowledgeable woman

Still miss The Automaster back in Shelburne VT. My dealers for almost 15 years. Bought 3 cars from them and had all my cars serviced there; they always treated me well whether I brought in the old Accord or Civic or the new S2000
