Wow! I like that paragraph.

 

"If some are surprised that Honda, universally known for sturdy, dependable and uncontroversial sedans, is a little on the wild side -- make that a lot on the wild side -- it's probably because they haven't really looked. Honda's engines are unparalleled for performance in a small package. Its powerhouse motorcycles are legends. And its spiffy S2000 roadster is becoming one...

Yeah, baby!

 

And the gals are right, too.

Even after over 1 1/2 years I still gaze longingly over her smooth, muscular body and wide rear...... sigh

 

^ Me too. It's hard to go into a store cuz I'm always looking back, admiring my baby.

 

I just sent the e-mail below to a friend of mine that drives a BMW 325 because she is in to the status of driving a "Beemer". Last year when I was going through a checkpoint at a secure government facility and the MP asked her to "pop her hood and trunk open" I have to show her where the hood latch was on her car that she had been driving for almost five years :-)

With that stated: I will admit that while driving with her she "instinctively" (perhaps because she was taught by her foot ball coach father) drives fairly smoothly. On constant radius turns she (unlike a lot of BMW "Ultimate Drivers") makes only "ONE" turn out of it, not forty seven. ;-)


Sue,

I thought that you may find this interesting? Naw! What do care about cars, or status for that matter? ;-)

BTW, I did not buy it because I was having a "Mid-life" crisis, or because I thought that it was "cute". I bought it because I appreciated the technology behind the car, and that it is effectively a "street legal race car". If you have any doubt about that, just give me a call. Now that the temperatures are up to accommodate the "Ultra High Performance Summer Tires" as the Bridgestone S-02 are, I would be "HAPPY" to take you for a ride. I bought it to drive it! As I have as I turned 50,000 miles today since 16 Apr 03. :-( I still have to smile a bit when I remember back to your reaction when one day I got a "clear shot" at the entrance ramp from the Eisenhower Connector onto the inner loop of the "Beltway". :-)

Let me know when you are ready to go for another ride now that temps are up and the S-02's (tires) are really working. ;-)

Regards,
Matt

 

Thanks for the link.

I passed it over to the New England folks.

One has just gone on to purchase a Boxter S. I made sure to note there was no Boxter S in the group.

 

When ever I park at work, I find my self glancing back at my baby as well. I also find myself glancing back at my baby after I back her into our garage, to get one last glance before putting her to bed.

With that stated, going back to cars in general.

As anyone taken a peak at the new Pontiac Soltice? It looks like more a hybrid styling excercise that the S2000 (which in my opinion looks like mating a Z-3 and a Miata).

Check out the Soltice and provide your feedback.

Talk about a styling hybrid? What do you think?

I ALWAYS pat her rear when I put her to bed.

and I think I've already given my opinion about the Solstice styling.
