Coming home from work last Wednesday, parked in the open West Falls Church Metro station lot, I watched a guy chatting on his cell phone as he walked to his tired-looking, bird-dropping covered, hasn't seen a bath in a while Honda Accord, almost directly in front of me.

After I dropped the top on the S, he held his phone away from his ear - but obviously speaking loud enough for the person on the other end of the line to hear - and asked,

"Hey! Wanna swap cars?"

Knee-jerk reaction was to say very sarcastically, uh NO THANKS, but I stopped myself because, well, that would be really rude.

So I just smiled. One of those fake, all-teeth smiles. And backed out of the parking space and drove away.

[QUOTE=Tracee,Aug 19 2006, 06:21 PM]I bought a four-year-old Miata ten years ago, put 220K miles on it, and didn't have to add oil between (3K mile) oil changes.

I have a friend who has won an open wheel championship in Europe and a few series in the US. He bought an S2000 for his wife and told me "the S2000 comes the closest to feeling like a race car of anything I've driven. Porsches and Ferrari's are nice for what they do, but they don't feel like a race car the way the Honda does." We then started talking about VTEC and he started chuckling. He said his wife drove it for a few months and one day she was going up a hill and accidently had VTEC kick in. She pulled over, called him and asked him if she had done something wrong

S2000380

Amen..............

I have to admit, the first time I drove one, and this was on a test drive, after going all the way to 9, I was kinda sweating a bit from all that lovely noise. Of course, after 2 and a half year of ownership, I'd do that at least once everyday because I couldn't get enough of it.

Monday afternoon I needed to drop off a CD to my Navy client on my way home. He met me outside the building, and one other Navy officer walked out with him.

The officer drives a light silver BMW Z4. He knew I had a silver S2000 but hadn't seen it up close, so of course he poked his head all around the car.

Chatting with my client, the officer overheard us discussing the HP, ride quality, etc. He smiled and said, "I only have one problem with this car:" and he proceeded to frame the Honda logo on the trunk with his hands.

The rat bastard. lol
