I had just parked, and a group of older rich looking couples were walking by.

Old lady: Oh, that's a cute car!
Old man: Yes, that's Honda's answer to the Miata.

Can't say I ever considered a Miata when car shopping...

I was test driving an eclipse GTS awhile back.....

salesman: you know the honda s2000s?
me: yea [confused at why he was bringing it up]
salesman: With this car you wont have any problem crushing them
me: *I just nodded and complied to not be rude as he did all the work to let me test drive* but in my head i was like ''LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL in your DREAMS"

A middle age guy in his Taurus asked me if my car is the New Z.

Valid comments from a smart enthusiast, after looking at my dyno plot... (I hate being outclassed ):

"Interesting graph. I wonder why the torque curve is so uneven. It seems that you don't really get on-song until 6500rpm, and even then it's at 130 lb-ft or so. I know, I'm spoiled... The S4 biturbo has a flat torque curve from 1850rpm and up at 258 lb-ft (factory spec)

BTW, the US-spec S4 biturbo engine is tremendously detuned compared to its European counterpart, especially in the torque. The Euro engine is some 40 lb-ft more."

Don't you just love people who are condesending towards your car because they are jealous?

Pulled into parking lot of Chipotle on Sawmill Rd north. A guy in his Boxter parks next to me. I am walking away from my S2000 I see him staring at my car then he asks me "That is S2000 right?" "We almost bought that car but couldn't pass the deal on Boxter" "I only paid 34k for my 2002 boxter and it is Porsche. I wanted a faster car"

At this point, I was too hungry to talk so I just smiled.

I got my food and hopped back in my car and I see that guy staring at my car as I am pulling out of the parking lot. I know exactly what was going through his mind.

"fck! I should've gotten S2000. Look at that car! looks so damn better than my Boxter."

Nov '99, driving the car home from the dealership. Pull up next to a very nice 911, the guy asks "What car polish do you use?" I replied "I don't know! I just picked it up today." He smiles and says "Nice car."

Hanging out in front of Starbucks with a girl I know, one of the employees comes out for her coffee break and calls the S a "panty emergency vehicle."

Several S2000s are in a parking lot for a meet. A guy in a base Boxster drives by, with a young kid in the passenger seat. The father calls out "Get a real car!" A quick thinking S2000 owner responds "Get a real Boxster!"

Eating lunch on the restaurant's patio. The car is facing directly at the restaurant's door. Two cops walk out, one nudges the other and points out the car. "No front plate!" (Texas law requires a front license plate.) They laugh and continue on to the squad car.

This is the funniest thread I've ever seen.

I made it to page 7 and laughed at loud so much my husband is getting jealous.
The S2000 is mine and I've had over 3 1/2 years, and over 52,000 miles, but I've never heard anyone say anything funny. Just the typical, "What kind of car is that?"

The best experience from strangers though was when a guy was drooling over it in a parking lot so I offered to take him for a ride. He had no idea what an S2000 was so I had to let him feel it. He fell in with it and his co-workers told me he was thrilled like a little kid. I see him every so often since his work is in the same center as my chiropractor. He still loves my car. I love to take people for rides in it because there really is no other way to get across, what the S2000 is.

Penis mobile?

It's not like you're driving a Crossfire.

Now that is an upside down looking penis mobile.

There is definite gay tendency potential with those buyers.
