Well no car is really a girly car. I mean like alot of girls drive Gt's (mustang and celica) but no car can be classified as a girly car. Secondly, guys mostly drive s2ks.

Never happened to me yet, at least not to my face. But if it did, I would inform them that they obviously are clueless when it comes to automobiles and back it up with some literature.

Some guy told me my car was "just a honda".

I told him he drove a POS American car. (I know, kinda harsh, but it was the first thing that came from my mouth.)

He had a grand-am.

Now that one I have heard many times. Kinda sucks Honda has that rep. for being a cheap economy car.

Some people just dont know because they are not in to motorsports. They have no idea Honda at some point in time has dominated racing scenes.

They do not know Honda is the largest engine maker in the world.

We can thank the american way for that.

The only motorsports that matter here are how fast you can go in a straight line, or how fast you can go in a big ass oval.

I've never gotten, "it's just a Honda." I've never been told, "it's a girly car."

What I have gotten in the ten months I've owned my S2000 is probably close to a dozen unsolicited, "Man, that's sure a sweet lookin' ride!" It's not what I bought the car for, but it's sure nice so get from time to time!

Drive Safe,
Steve R.

......51% of this population is girls!! Girls drive mustangs, cobras, 350zs, g35s, so basically every car is a girl car. Doesn't bother me.
