Today, while I was getting a parking receipt from the machine, I noticed a meter maid (overweight) walking towards my car. I waved my receipt so he would see me and not give me a ticket but he kept looking at the car. When I spoke to him, he told me how much he has liked the S2000 and would love to have one. Then, he asked me, "How do you get into it?". He was right, at his size, he wouldn't be able to sit comfortably in the car. I told him he should lose weight since it would have two benefits, he could get the car and he would be in better shape.
Before I left, he asked me "How is the S2000 better than a Mazda Miata? So, I opened the hood and showed him the engine

I've only had the car for 5 days now and besides driving it home, it hasn't really left the garage.
Did show pictures to my colleagues, and every time they say "You have to take me for a ride some day!!"
Will be difficult though, I go to work by train

I finally had my encounter today, after only owning my S for roughly 4 months.
A co-worker asked how I liked my S, I responded that I loved it, so far.
He said of course it's a stick shift
I reply, Yeah it is.
He says he's only seen a handful that weren't stick.
I felt bad, but I didn't correct him. I just let it fly.

I don't get how people not knowing what an S2000 is somehow equated to funny things people have said about our cars. They didn't actually say anything or have some funny comment about the car.
The S2000 is a fairly obscure vehicle. Many of the people I talk to who aren't avid gearheads haven't a clue what an S2000 is. Hell, even at the local Cars and Coffee I attend, the S2000 gets a lot of questions. I'd say most there know very little about the car.

Called my local HONDA DEALER for an Estimate on a valve check/adjustment. The lady asks what kind of Car, and I tell her its an S2000. She then tells oh i'm SORRY but we only service HONDA's here. WTF???

For me, it wasn't so much what was said, but what was written about mine
Valet at a wedding I attended last summer. I figured I'd correct them that it wasn't a BMW in case there would be a mixup with the cars. Better than the usual mistaken for a Miata.

Yesterday as I was pulling through a parking lot, there were a couple of girls sitting on the curb smoking (employees on break from the BK next door) and as I drove past, I heard one of them say "OMG, Can I have your car.......please (quietly)"
