I got my first funny comment (whoohoo!). Tonight at the Taco Bell drive in, I'm driving, my wife is riding shotgun. I pull up to the window and:

Taco Bell Girl: Hey, I like your car.

Me: Thanks, I just got it.

TBG: Yeah, everytime I see one with my BF I comment how I want one and they are cute. But I don't understand why the have the headrest so far back. I can't imagine anyone ever sitting in the back.

My Wife: Umm ... those are the rollbars.

TBG: I feel so stupid now.

A few weeks ago at a party an attractive young lady comes up to me and says, "I like your S2000."

I grin and say, "Me too."

Then she says, "I'm gonna get me one in two years, but I'm going to get one with an automatic."

I still think the dumbest question is, "Is it fast?"

I always feel like answering, "Compared to what?"

I don't even have an S yet, and I am getting some comments about my laptop's background.

I was fixing my female co-worker's computer at her apartment. Outside her apartment parked a light blue 1st gen. Miata. She was bitching about the Miata parked there for half a year with expired tags and didn't move and taking up spaces and blah blah blah.

So I let her use my laptop so she could surf the Internet. My desktop background is the 06 S in Laguana Blue. So the conversation goes...

Girl: Is this the car you've been talking about all day long at work?
Me: Yep. Hopefully I can get one in this color.
Girl: It looks just like the Miata outside. It even has the same color!
Me: *@#$%*

All I did was explain that the car didn't come with an automatic.

I see the S2000 as a bit like the old Porsches, and worry about what happens to people who buy them and drive them hard without having a clue what they're doing, but I stopped sort of giving her a lecture.
