There is only 1 s2000 up here that is owned by a female. The rest are all owned by old dudes. Then there is me and 1other relatively young people who own them. I think Forbes is full of crap.

Speaking personally, from observations of myself and several others around this semi-tropical retirees' paradise, there is a large contingent of S2000 owners who are superannuated, bald-headed, potbellied testosterone-deprived males. This one, in particular, turns 70 in September, but remains happy to have owned this 2002 New Formula Red for 6 years and two months, and is still counting.

I call as well for all the same reasons you all have said. Unless they are typical females and the car is trashed and they dont want to be seen in public

First of all if I look here in Sweden, maybe two thirds of all cars are owned by men. I guess the US isn't very much different. That makes the statistics even more hard to believe.

It might be an insurance thing tho, putting the car on a person that gives better insurance fees are pretty common.

How much overweight? Some of us middle-aged women are pretty hot!
If you're 5'2", anything over 105 pounds is overweight.

If you're 5'9", anything over 130 pounds is overweight.

5'9" - 130+ is OVERWEIGHT? Wow, I guess about 99.9% of people are obese under this scheme.

For teenagers maybe, but adult females? Come on.

Eh, I would say 5'9" and more like 140. I like athletic girls.

Actually, I was joking, Marcus. Years ago, the formula was 100 lbs for the first 5', then 4-6 lbs for each inch over, for small-large frame. So, with the formula, the 5'2" woman would be 108-112 and the 5'9" woman would be 138-154. I think that is reasonable. It doesn't work for many women today, though.
