i am sitting in the drive thru at the bank with the top down and some guy in a work van asks me what kind of car it is. i say honda and he responds i didn't know they make a car like that, i have never seen one. a few minutes go by and he asks me if there are back seats when i put the top up! that one made me chuckle to myself a little.

Out to dinner with my mom, come outside after eating to find a brand spanking new red f430 spider parked next to my S and I say to ma, "Now there's a sports car." She replies, "I don't see a difference, what's the difference?"
My reply, "About $200,000.00."
My reply, "About $200,000.00."

Talking with a friend near the car:
Him - "Is that the new Saturn?"
Me - "No, it's a Honda."
Him - "Wow, didn't know they made one of these!"
Sitting in traffic today:
Guy runs off the sidewalk to the passenger side and says "That car is mint! Awesome!" Then he ran away.

Not something someone said, but something that happened.....I'm a underpaid Marine Military Policeman, and my boss see's my car and asks some questions about it. Two weeks later Internal Affairs(CID) pulled me into the office to bs, and then asked me if i had a second job to pay for my Porsche. 
so i say, "you mean my honda?" and the Investigator asks, "Wait.....so how many cars do you own then?" i just laughed and took him outside....cleared things up....but now my boss shoots me dirty looks when i see him oh well

Usually when driving through downtown wherever (San Antonio, New Orleans, Savvanah, wherever) someone, usually drunk, has to yell "nice car, do a burnout" or something to that effect.
While driving on the riverwalk in Savvanah last week I drive past a group of girls. They all look and one shouts, "Nice car, ya'll must be rich".
I too am underpaid military and get questions all the time at work...
"How do you afford to live off base and that car? You're just an E3! What are they paying airman these days.." - I'll be damned if internal affairs ever gets called on me though. I'd flip my shit. Then again - thats a benefit of being in the chairforce, higher ranking usually aren't douchebags - at least in my career field.
My neighbor tells me my car is "almost as nice as a Porsche" ever day I wash it. He's an idiot.
At meets and such I get lots of compliments. Overall it attracts quite a bit of attention, but I know my age has a lot to do with it. Regardless, I've come to the conclusion that people in general are stupid, and I can take or leave what they have to say. I didn't buy the car for an ego boost.
My favorite S2000 interaction though - the waves, thumbs up and acknowledgement I get from other S2000 drivers. That's one thing that makes me feel like part of a community and makes owning this car all the more fun.
