This wasn't said, but it was still funny.
Took the S to a full service car wash and paid for full service. While the largely immigrant staff had but little trouble starting the car to get it over to the vaccuum area and the wash area, the asst. manager was helping out that day, and got in the car to drive it over to fine detailing. I watched close by while he turned the key on and off like six times. Took the key out of the ignition, ACTUALLY LOOKED AT MY SHED KEY TO SEE IF IT WOULD FIT, then got this really sad look on his face like he was going to have to ask one of his lowly staff how to start this car. I pointed out the BIG RED BUTTON that said clearly ENGINE START. He didn't say a word. Just started and pulled it over to the detail area, then absolutely refused to look at me for the next half an hour.
The huge grin on my face must have intimidated him.

Happens to me everytime I am not driving the S: I reach for the BIG RED BUTTON on the dashboard. LOL!

I've gotten the usual stuff...
"Is that a Corvette?"
"I love your Porsche!"
"That's a Honda?!"
It makes me feel pretty good... my last car was an '04 Dodge SRT-4, and while it was a great car and I loved it, nobody mistook it for a Porsche or Vette.
In fact alot of the time the reaction was "You drive a Neon?" 
hahah actually when I bought the S2000, I test drove it with the salesman and he said "This car gets such great gas mileage too. And it has a six speed. I mean, I can't imagine you'd really even need to use the 6th gear." ummm... yeah right

Whenever I take the car to an oil change place or a car wash, etc, I love watching out the window and seeing the attendant get in the car. First they look around the interior for a few moments, confused as to why the car won't start. Then once they finally figure out the engine start button, they fumble around for a few minutes, trying to put the shifter in reverse.
I love this car
