a family friend stopped by the house to drop off a few things for my parents and then he stopped and looked at my car and wheels for a few min and then asked:

him: do your tires not hit your fenders?

me: oh, no they don't

him: really? cause your car is real low

me: kinda, thinking about going lower. if you look at the front of the car you can see how the wheels are tilted inwards so that they tuck inside the fender, or called camber

him: oh your right, they aren't straight up and down


then we talked a few more mins about my mods and such
and my car is at a "flush" stance i guess

I was at stop light next to a semi truck and heard him rev it a few times and eventually looked over to see what was going on. I look up at the driver and he is just smiling with a thumbs up haha.

LOL! Did you look in your rearview mirror to see what kind of car was behind you?

I was topdown and heading towards 110 freeway near downtown LA. I was waiting to turn left and a girl in her white civic was slowly passing me by said (almost like whispering) "nice car...." When I heard the whisper, I looked at my side mirror and she was still looking at my car so I whispered back "thanks..." lol

One of my neighbors used to be a new car sales manager for a large Honda dealership. He said he always liked the S2K but could't fold himself up enough to get in / out of them. Alas, he now works for an ad agency calling on dealerships he used to work at.

A lady whom look like a lady version of that crazy scientist from Back to the Future, rolled up next to me as I'm getting off work her her CLS63 AMG (yes.. dead serious slightly older body style, I believe it may have been an '09), and is in awe, she just calls out "hey sonny, that car is simply beautiful.. there's not a speck of dirt on it!" I was like .."thank you very much, I just finally waxed and clayed it the other day plus it has low miles so I do my best to keep it in good shape, and.. likewise" and she goes .. "this little thing..? It gets me around.."

I go back to minding my own business as we are both near the front of the intersection at the red light. The light goes green and I just cruise nice and easy, next thing I hear it ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAR, yep.. her catching up and waving.

That lady (must have seriously been nearly 80 years old) is a BAMF. To top it off her plate said "k00k00" I think it was a mixture of O's and 0's. Not sure as I didn't pay too close attention to that.

Sort of made my day.

Had a guy at the pump next to me at a gas station ask if I "that is a Honda spider".

I laughed and told him it was an S2000 and we talked cars briefly. He said he owned a boxter for a while. Couldn't believe it was an 06 with the paint/condition it's in so I can't imagine what people say when you AP1 guys tell them the year
