Same here in Sydney ... Whenever I drive my Accord, I see alot of nice cars around or those who can potentially be a good run with the S2000. And when I drive the beast, there are no preys. Damn! What the heck, and the weather is another crazy thing. I don't even want to start, today's weather is damn ugly for a weekend on my type of agenda.

LOL! Yes, this happens to me too. I don't have an S2K (yet), but when I leave my NSX at home, THAT is when I see others on the road. And I usually NEVER see another NSX around here since I drive mine all the time.

An example is last week when I was hanging out with some friends (one of whom has a '01 S2K that he was driving) at a nearby Arby's. We are sitting there at night and Kris (with the S2K) say's, "HEY! A red NSX!". Sure enough, there was one just putting by. Damn, I wish I had my car. It happens to us all.

HAHA...happens to me too. Since I drive my 4 runner to work everyday, it sure is tough battling through traffic with the ho-hum of regular vehicles. But it never fails, I always see Boxsters, TTs and Z3s cruising top down whenever I don't have my S.
Always makes me go "DOH!"

Same here. . .

Prime example. . . This past Labor Day weekend, I drove my S almost everywhere I went. . . And except for 1 corvette, I saw nothing but POSs and sedans on the road. . .

However, the 2 times I took the Prelude out. . . I drove past 2 S2Ks on Route 4 (one yellow and one red), a black Lotus Esprit on River Road in Edgewater, several Boxsters and a couple of Z3s thorughout Bergen county. . .

I guess timing IS everything. . .

WOW! My family lives in Edgewater, NJ. . .can't believe your are so close there!

My cousin came down on vacation this past summer and fell in love with my S2000. . .to make matters worse, we went and watched "The Fast and the Furious" (I drove my Accord Coupe - definately not the S2000. . .haha! )

The next day he bought a used Mazda RX-7 Twin Turbo from Wilmington and is getting it ready. . .I'm sure you know what I mean! So, if you ever see a dark green RX-7, you'll now know the he's related to an S2000 owner!

I see the nice cars when I'm driving my S2000, but there just going the opposite direction on the highway. When I pull a U-Turn they simply appear on the other side. Not fair...
