I buy my tires online and have a certain local tire dealer install because he can "reverse mount" on my Volks/Rays rims. The last time I was there he said: "I work a lot of Porsche's, BMW's and such, but your S2000 is the best looking I've seen".

My old college roommate likes cars, but isn't a car enthusiast by any means. He asked to ride in my car and was surprised when I told him it was "just" a 4 cylinder. His brother is a car guy and he wanted me to show him the car the other day. So we're looking at it and my friend is going on and on about how nice it is and all. Then he told his brother about how it "really throws you back in the seat" and said something about 450 horsepower. I just chuckled and jokingly said "if it had 450 horsepower I'd be dead" (backstory is I had just told them how I managed to spin out a couple times during some auto-x events last year, so I've learned to respect the car and leave the fast driving for auto-x).
Same day. I revved the car because his brother wanted to hear it. Another friend who was there goes "It just sounds angry."
My girlfriend (soon-to-be fiancé...seems to be a recurring theme on this thread) plays softball for her college and her mom was asking her if I was gonna drive to one of her away games cause we could ride together if I did. Her mom suggested that we could take my car if it was a nice day. My gf goes "You just want to ride in his car don't you?" She admitted that she did.

I got a parking ticket at school, the make and model said - Mazda Miata. I went to parking enforcement to argue and they wrote it off since I clearly don't drive a Mazda.

Speaking of Civic...I just walked out of Advanced Auto Parts. The cashier was being really nice and talking to me about my car. He then told me he loves S2000's, and I quote, "It's like a rear wheel drive Civic. Gotta love it."
I felt like saying something in response, but he was trying to be nice and I figured there would be a lot of explaining to do. I just smiled and left. Wasn't worth the time.

Sitting in Strategic Management 434 and class discussion is revolving around the auto industry.
Professor: who drives a Honda?
Me: *raises hand*
Professor: sir, what Honda do you drive?
Me: an S2000 sir
Professor: OK I don't know what that is.... Who drives a normal Honda?

It has been my experience at what we call "parts" stores these days that the folks there don't have a remote clue what they are doing. All they can do is punch it a model, year, make on their antiquated desktops and hope for the best. If it "doesn't show up" they are lost.
