One of the reasons we bought this car is because we were looking at an RX7 and a guy drove up in a yellow S2K and I fell in love with it! He let me drive it although he was in the car with me. The dealer was pissed because we headed off to Honda!

Hahahaha, that's so funny. Glad you made the right decision.

I ended up getting my MY02 from a Ford dealer (old Asian guy traded it in for a F150). The sales guy was actually really cool. He kept telling me to test drive the car even though I told him I've driven a couple S2k's already. So I tell him ok, I'll go, and he tosses me the keys and says "Have fun." I'm walking towards the car and think to myself, "Wait a minute." So I go after him and ask him "Don't you need my driver's license and stuff?" He's like, "Sure, why not" and goes and makes a copy. Really nice guy, really chill (until it was time to negotiate, haha.)


The Acura dealer where I got my old 2.5TL was even cooler. I dropped off the TL one day to get it serviced. Ended up wandering around the showroom and started looking at the Integra GSR's. This young sales guy comes up to me and we start talking about the GSR's. This guy keeps on telling me that I need to drive one of these, but I keep on telling him that I'm not gonna buy a car and I didn't even know how to drive stick (at that time I had driven a couple of cars, but by no means had any handle on the skill). The sales guy kept insisting though and said he would teach my how to drive stick.

So we end up taking the GSR out, he teaches me how to drive stick, I end up stalling the car numerous times, and he keeps on giving me pointers on what I'm doing wrong and how I should shift here and gas it there. Totally awesome sales guy. When we get back to the showroom, he tells me, "Next time, we'll try to sneak the NSX out." Too bad though, I went back several times after that but he was never there. Guess he either really sucked at sales or his boss was getting pissed that he kept on taking the cars out with people that didn't even want to buy them.
