It's a nice perc. We pay for it though.
When we moved to Huntington Beach back in the Mid-80's, it did not take me very long to figure out that I needed to raise the limits on the property damage portion of our auto insurance. Now that we live back in Fairfax County, VA that higher coverage is still in place.

I don't quite understand it. Now that the S2000 has been out of production for 5 years I see more of them than I did before. I see one just about every other day.

When they were still being made I hardly ever saw them.

I had a few in my driveway tonight. We also had an MB (bolton) who was just saying how he hasn't driven his S lately, a Corvette (Ben from NE) and a Porsche (Bob from NE).

We classed up the neighborhood a bit!

As far as others S2000's, I see a white one with a hard top and some kind of body kit, pretty darn ugly. Saw and NFR the other day.

I do see them more often than I used to.

Did Bolt-on bring his cute little puppy?

No, no puppies. I think that was a good thing. My deck was already pretty crowded.

Fun evening.

Yeah, I didn't think so. Titan would have taken the room of 3 adults I'm thinking.

As most of you know, I also own an NSX. I never see another one, unless I drive about 60 miles to the nearest cars & coffee. I suspect that there are, at most, 10 total NSX's registered in my tiny state (I know of 4 others) And, furthermore, I rarely even get asked about either car when I stop for gas. This area is pick-up heaven.

Having visited SoCal for HCII, I can confirm Patty and Roseanne's observations above.

I might add, that when I was on my way to S2K Days in Colorado, driving through Nebraska, I was surprised at how many times I received friendly waves from oncoming cars & pick-ups. It was neat meeting up with Bob & Joanne (MAGGIEMAE) in North Platte, as well.
Rare to see any at the beach Gene. 2 local owners and an occasional out of stater.

I'd almost say I see one daily. There used to be another at my office, so that's an easy one.
There are several others pretty close and it's not uncommon at all to see one on any random trip from here to there.

Chuck, we are here but we hide quite a bit!
