So far just people mistaking it for a BMW.

I've heard a few young kids as I drive by say "Whoa! Cool!" and I rev the engine a little.

I always get, "That's a Honda?"

Then a little high school kid tried to be cool and said to his friends as they walk by, "Look man! That's a Honda Del Sol! My brother use to have one just like that! It has vtec!"
Well, atleast he got Honda and VTEC right.

The other day was just too nice not to go topless, so I took the S, to go shopping in our near by town.

With 2 weeks worth of groceries, I had a full trolley, when I started loading. A quite elderly lady, using one of those walking frames on wheels was passing, & said, "You'll never fit all that shopping in that little thing, you'd better swap cars with me".

When she stopped at a near by ageing Toyota Corolla, I said no thanks. Her reply, "Nah, I didn't think you'd fall for it".

I had the whole "old lady yelling that I was going too fast" thing happen on Saturday:

I was visiting my parents and driving through the local college campus going the speed limit. This old couple in their 60s-70s were crossing the road and they were in the median with flowers and landscaping and crap. I drive past and hear the old lady yell something that ended with "fast". I did a u-turn at the next break in the median and pulled up asking her if there was some sort of problem. She acted all nice so I just went with it being as sarcastic as possible. I finally got her to admit she thought I was "maybe going a little fast for the area" to which I promptly told her I was going the speed limit. Told her to have a nice day and left.

I kept reading similar stories here and I knew if some old bat tried that on me I was going to stop and let her know I wasn't even speeding. People need to mind their own business..

Drove past a grade school a few days ago, few kids looked and threw their hands in the air and cheered (they were in a playground a little ways off the road)

Had to give them a rev and a wave.

I was at the gas pumps this weekend and the lady in front of me started with "What a cute car!" To which I replied Cute? and proceeded to spew out the specs for horse power, redline, top rated (under 6 seconds) 0-60 mph (not that I drag race mine, not) and how well it handles in the mountain curves and on track.

After my schlep, she said I should have been it's salesman. She corrected her statement and said,

That's a cool car" "I want one."
