You might own an S when you check on S2KI before you had your morning coffee.

you might own an S2000 if you check oil pressure and tire pressure every morning.

You need to drive in my neighborhood for awhile. I usually hear "What kind of Ferrari/Porsche is that?" or "I didn't know Honda made cars like that".

At least the kids are cool. They drool all over themselves when I drive by with the top down. Yesterday a young fellow was driving through traffic like crazy, chasing me. I thought that he wanted to race me (he had an older Z24), but when he got along side of me at a light, he just wanted to talk about my car. He thought that it was pretty quick and he loved my exhaust (Spugen).

You might be an newbie s2000 owner if it takes you longer to find the fuel door release knob than it does to fill the car up.

Hopefully this has changed - read that Honda was not selling them in Russia when they first came out
They sell it ~55k$, compared to ~30k$ in US.

And now...
You might own a S2000 if you leave your pc and monitor on for the night just to look once more on the S2k wallpaper





Grrr, I do it, but I don`t own S2K

CORRECTION: you might own a US S2000

If you own a Euro, you just snicker and let your passenger open the already-unlocked door, or flip the power lock switch on next to your arm

... you peek in other cars' cockpits and snicker at how low their redlines are

... you can maintain the speed limit through town in first gear! (or you own a Gallardo)

... when you hear the word "torque" you immediately get defensive

... you have to tell friends / family / state inspection technicians how to start your car

... you boast to your passengers how the electric roof opens and closes faster than any other car's

... when you are bored on a Saturday night, you sit in the car and turn the key to see the rainbow build up and recede over and over again

... passengers complain about the lack of a vanity mirror since you've covered it up with Rick's leather cover

... you to passenger: "there's nothing wrong with my car/clutch/diff/suspension, that noise you hear is normal!"

... $tealer to you: "there's nothing wrong with your car/clutch/diff/suspension, that noise you hear is normal!"

... you consider redlines conservative recommendations and rev limiters as fun limiters

... you pretend you're David Copperfield as you open the long hood to reveal the tiny engine inside

... you take out a 3rd mortgage on your house to pay your S2000 insurance bill

... you have the hardest time not making a slalom course out of road construction cones
