My wife thinks you look like Tiger Woods
There's absolutely nothing about this car that bothers me compared to the sheer thrill of driving the thing

I don't like the wimpy Honda horn, that's why I upgraded mine to FIAMM dual air horns.

I don;t use the cruise control either so that doesn't bother me.

Yes, people say I look like Tiger Woods. I'm amazed considering I've never even held a golf club. Just lucky Tiger isn't the spokesperson for Honda - boy would I be in trouble then!

The only thing I don't like about the 2000 is the payments!

The only major annoyance of mine is that I find the tonneau cover to be a pain to use.

All the other things people have mentioned ... yah, they're there ... but I really don't notice them ...

Have fun,
Derek

I can't believe that slipped my mind. The horn absolutely blows

I haven't figured out what the deal is with my car but it seems like every time I drive it some gopher balls cuts me off. I can't tell you how many times I have used the wonderful brakes that Honda gave us to prevent an accident. I didn't have this problem with my black/black/black Miata (which I always thought was tough to spot on the road especially at night). In fact, I never had this many people cut me off when I was riding motorcycles. Trust me, I get use out of my brakes, tires, horn, vocal chords and occasionaly middle digit.

2X6spds had a good thought in that he guessed that the silverstone color might "blend" in with asphalt. Personally, I think this just proves how crappy the average driver is. Either way, I am seriously thinking about installing aftermarket horns.

I have no major gripes with this car, but here are some minor ones:

1) Paint Job. I've got the black, and I've noticed sooo many
scratches on the paint. Very minor scratches, but visible nontheless, and it appears to be caused by too thin a paint coating.

2) Radio. I have to give Honda credit for the remote controls, but the sound is awful. What would be really nice is a remote on/off switch. It's a pain to have to constantly open the radio cover to turn on/off the power.

3) Door handles. Since there isnt much to hold on to, I've noticed that I get a lot of fingerprints on the door handles from closing the door.

4) Rear window. I hardly ever have the top up, but the rear window is the worst I've ever seen in a ragtop.

5) Trunk Latch. I use the trunk alot, and find the latch inconvient to get to. Could use a locking release latch on the door.

6) Seats. Need more adjustments.

Annoyances not in any particular order...

1. HUGE blind spot with top up
2. Seatbelt tightening when trying to turn/ merge to the left.
3. Non adjustable steering wheel
4. Tonneau cover is a bitch to put on/off
5. Hondas decision to place cup holder in the way of shifting
6. Constantly checking to see if anyone parked too close at work
7. Paranoia about hearing different things on my car

But these things are pretty minor to me.. I LOOOOVE MY S2K!!!!
