Girl: It's cute!
Me: No, it's a performance machine. It's mean. It's angry.
Girl: No. It's cute.
Me: <sigh>
A week later a different girl used the c-word to describe my car. Didn't even bother arguing.
If the ladies want to think the S is cute then I'll tolerate it. If a guy calls my car cute though, that's when I'll start to worry.

I showed my S off to a friend of mine last night. As soon as she sits in the passenger seat she says, "Aw! It's so CUTE!!" "It's not cute," I retort. She apologizes then we head off. During the whole ride that's all she kept saying: cute cute cute cute cute! 
Oh well it could have been worse. Oh wait. It did. I parked the car, and showed her the HIDs, since she noted that they were really bright, and illuminated a large area of the road. As we were walking away, back to the apartment, she asks, "What kind of car is it? It's a Honda, right?" I thought to myself, Good. At least she knows the make of the car. Then, she said it: 
"It's a Camry, right?" 
Needless to say, I was speechless. Granted my friend wasn't a car nut by any stretch of the imagination, but I didn't think she could have been so far off. Miata? Sure. Civic? Maybe. But a Camry? Damn.

I pull up to a stop light next to a 300zx. The passenger says to me, "do you like your s2000?" I reply, "yes, very much." He asks me if I can drive over rocks with it, I say, "not so much of that." He proceeds to ask me how fast it can go, I reply with 150. He asks me if I know that the civic can go 150, I say, "sure" not actually knowing the top speed of a stock si, giving him the benefit of the doubt. He then asks me why I paid so much for my car when I could have got a civic instead, of course with a mocking tone. I tell him "because I can," dumbfounded that he feels there is so little difference between the civic and the s2000, and not feeling the need to justify my decisions to a stranger, let alone in the few seconds I had before we had to go because of the light. I think he was going to tell me how much better his evo or sti was (because of the driving over rocks question), but I will never know.

Going through a McDonald's drive thru, the kid at the window asks "Is that a stick shift?" I stare at him a second and say "Uh, yeah," and nod. He then points across to a line of parked cars and says "Yeah, I have stick in my Neon over there - it's a lot of fun." Hmm, maybe he drives an SRT-4? I look over and, nope, it's a regular Neon. I figure it would be rude to slap my forehead, so I just smile, nod again and drive off.

My brother and I traded cars for the day earlier this week. I had his 2005 IS 300, great comfy car, lotta torque.
At the end of the day:"Dude, I realized something. S2000 owners smile a lot. Or at least they should."
I thought it summed the driving experience up rather well.

when my friends are teasing me i always get "you and your mazda miata"
i find that insulting.
salesman that sold me the car, it was his first day. He opens up the hood of a car on the showroom floor and says, "This 2.2 liter has plenty of low end torque"
