Just pulling back on the turn signal arm will flash all your lights, this works well unless you really want to wave.

Guys in S2000's WILL wave back and MOST Women S2000's will NOT wave back. They think you are hitting on them...But than again you know they do not fully appreciate the S2000, It's just another modified Miata to them. I've actually had women describe my car to their friends like that! I just suck it up and Smile
But you know it's going to get old it Honda doesn't stop production. It'll be like the Del Sol's..Think about it.

I like it... Actually the same wave I do on my bike.

I've more or less given up on cars waving back. On my motorcycle, virtually every rider wave's back except the Harley crowd, who only seem to wave at each other. I don't bother in the city or on the highway, but all those great, curvy secondary roads are where the true riders are anyway.

I've noticed that most S2000 owners will not only waive back, but unlike BMW owners, will give me a full 5 finger salute, 4 more than the Beemer folk usually manage.

I waived at a gal driving a brand new yaller with Costa Mesa Honda plaque where the plate will go. She pulled into the 76 station on Superior just up from Pacific Coast Highway. We chatted, showed her how to brighten her dash board lights, the locations of the secret compartment, and her dipstick. Two young fellas who from their dress we thought might be gang bangers came over and drooled on our cars. They turned out to be very nice guys. Her expected plate will try to express the thought "Newport Beach Models."

BTW, Costa Mesa Honda was asking $44,000 for that yellow. I hope she did better than that.

For the record, I have two Harleys and I always wave at ALL the other bikers on the road. I have experienced, however, that a lot of sport bikers either don't wave back or give me the bird. It's too bad people feel they have to act that way to "prove something".

All seem to be presupposing that they will actually meet another S2K on the road. In the year+ that I have had the car, I have crossed exactly one other S2000, and we both waved, although he seemed a bit shocked to see another one (I know I was).

I've had bikers salute fairly often. Apparently, they are one group who can appreciate why you would buy a Honda S2000 rather than a BMW/Porsche. Its the feel & sound of the engine and the open road...

The salute for fellow brethren should be subtle and nothing that requires you to take you attention away from "The Machine".

The salute for bass kicking, neon glowing, blacklight projecting, wheel spaced hot-rods should be the L sign (hand in L on forehead)

Have you ever seen the Verizon Wireless commercials? The two fingered "V" sign is their signature of saying "Join In"

I like to use 2 quick flashes of the headlights. Or a wave. I've not seen any women driving stooks in Wisconsin, but most women seem to think you're hitting on them if you wave.

Most of the bikers I wave at seem to wave back, unless they're on a Harley. 99% of the Harley riders give me the finger. I think they yell too, but it's hard to hear them when I fly by on one wheel at 15,000 rpms.
