Last night (2am) I met some friends in a McDonald's parking lot to eat and chat together. I got there first and was relaxing with my girl with the top up, as it was a bit chilly for her. My friends all came in one car, a little wannabe-ricer Integra (the driver if which I hadn't met). As they pull up, all passengers except the driver are going, "Wooaah" "Nice car" "Look at you!".
I could see the upset mug of the driver through his Wal-Mart purple tint.
Him: What do your parents do?
Me: I don't know, I haven't spoken with them for 5-6 years.
Him: How'd you get this beamer then?
Me: It's a Honda and I have a job.
[Queue shutdown]
Five minutes later he pulls back his moon roof, climbs up through it, and sits on the roof.
He looks at me and says, "Too bad your fancy car doesn't have a moon roof, cuz nothing beats this."
To which I respond with a quick top down maneuver. Silence.
It seems everyone else was having a good time, completely oblivious to these events.
The McDonald's was on the outskirts of town, so we had to take a short country road home. I head out first, he goes flying by in the oncoming traffic lane. Little does he know there is a 5-0 posted on one of the side streets. It's there every night (I live right around the corner, so I know)
[Queue boop-boop]
Made my week. I have only had the car about two months and this is the first notable incident.

Forgot about this thread. A few months ago, me and the girl I was seeing were going out to eat with the top down. Some college kids in a Pathfinder pulled up next to me while we were driving and the driver yelled out the window "Did your dad let you borrow the car tonight?" I just kind of looked at him until they pulled away.
I'm 30, lol. Haven't aged since 24, but still. And the girl was 25.
Silly kids.

Got pulled over by the local PD..younger guy
Walks up and says "you were having a pretty good day until now?"
Me:"I still am"
PD"DL and insurance..he checks my clean record
Do you know why I pulled you over"
Me"No sir"
PD"You need to have a front plate, any reason why you don't have one?"
Me"No place to put it, although I could Zip tie it"
PD"Nice S2000 and a perfect day for the top to be down. I am building a '65 Mustang to autox"
So the real reason for the pull over==to talk about the car
Told him I would take him around the local tracks if he wanted to see it on a road course.
First time I have had PD pull me to talk about the car...pretty cool
And no ticket

Had two little encounters that were funny recently.
New car (07) is S/C with boost and oil pressure gauges in the "glovebox" pocket and an Asura exhaust
1) pulling into the parking garage after lunch, car always echoes pretty loudly while driving through. Pass by a group of younger guys standing around a Jetta before I back into my chosen parking spot.
I get out and walk by them to the stairs and one of them yells after me "Yo, are you sure that your car is a Honda?"
2) Getting gas in a small town after a group drive, the attendant (Oregon, we dont pump our own) starts to fill as I run into the quickie mart to grab a water and a snack. When I come back he says "While you were gone I was looking at this fancy car here, and I have to ask, is your speedometer the little gauge in your glovebox?" "No man, speedo is digital and the car's not on"
Hes like OHHHHHH, and as I leave I overhear him telling the other attendant "it's a digital speedometer!"

At a stop sign, lady pulls up next to me in a SUV
"What kind of car is that?"
"Honda S2000"
"I didn't know Honda made sports cars!"
"...they used to...." as I pull away.

I pulled up to the stop light in downtown Phoenix yesterday around noon. Top down, despite the heat we're getting now, as my drive was pretty short. A pedestrian walking by asked me if the car was fast.
I answered "Sometimes."
He repeated back, "Sometimes, eah?"

@local DMV, about to do VIN check
Me: It's the white car over there
Old Gran: That CUTE thing over there?! I didn't expect it to be a Honda, it's very cute!
Me: Yeah, thanks! *cringing myself after hearing my car being cute*
