Not sure if the subject makes a whole lot of sense. . .

Nevertheless. . .everytime I drive my S2000, I am surrounded by old beaters, pickups and the usual. . .

However, dare I run to the grocery store for milk in my wife's Accord and I'll bear witness to a Z8, Lingenfelter Vette, Ferrari Modena and countless other beauties. . .

or even worse. . .Another S2000!

Man, why does this happen. . .my wife makes fun when I drive her car and she teases me saying. . ."keep your eyes open for another S2000!" Ahhhhhhh!

It's hilarious. . .here's another prime example! Yesterday, since I still had my old tires (if you look at this thread, you'll understand what I mean) https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...?threadid=26517 I decided to take my wife's car on a short business trip since it was raining. . .as soon as I leave in my wife's Accord, the rain clears. . .heavenly sunshine abounds and as I am pulling into a restaurant for some lunch. . .BAM! A RED S2000! Had I been driving my S2000, an '86 Ford Escort would have puttered in my way!

Why? HeHeHaHa!

You are 100% CORRECT! I work in NYC and therefore take mass transit, driving the s2k would ruin it. But anyways, of course as I am crammed in this bus next to a fat sweaty guy, here comes someone in a beautiful yellow s2k or even better, a red Ferrari 360 Modena convertible enjoying the beautiful non-fatman sweaty comfort of their cars on a beautiful day!

So I rush home get in my s2k in hopes of seeing some of these cars and......drum roll please....NOTHING! Just a bunch of minivans and SUVs. Something is conspiring against us.

I don't have this problem. I drive my S2k everywhere.

I have only driven another car once since I got the S 6 weeks ago and that was my dad's RX300 at 2 in the morning to Whataburge because my mom's car was blocking mine.

Same in Cincinnati!

Just isn't the same waving to a passing S2000 from my Integra as it is from my S2000.

And, only see another S2000 every other week or so!

Yup, happens to me all the time. I'll be driving my Prelude and there will be other S2Ks all around me. When I switch to the S2K, there's nothing but crappy cars all around.
