On my leisurely drive home for lunch (yes, home page staff likes to take a leisurely and long lunch once in a while), I saw a rare and beautiful gem, a white NSX. It nearly escaped my peripheral vision, but as soon as I caught a mere glimpse of it, I knew undoubtedly what it [...]

Calling all OG’s (Original Owners)
We’ve often wanted to walk up to some of our older members and go “Yo, what up, OG? What’s good in tha hood?” Some of them would be puzzled but others would nod knowingly and, with a wink, point to their S2000. “OG” per Urban Dictionary means Original Gangster and, for purpose of this text, [...]
To Hold and Drive Forever
The S2000 is known by many to be as close as it gets to pure motoring pleasure with no compromises like back seats or luggage space concerns. So what happens when changes in your life potentially necessitate a change of car to match the needs of the moment? Going through a similar circumstance, the concerns [...]

He was evaluating several vehicles as a replacement for his del Sol that had become tired and worn out [...]

Guilty Pleasure
An outsider could very well think that we are a group stuck in the “swinging sixties” a la Austin Powers. With talk of drifting sideways and “swinging” the car around a corner screaming “YEAH, BABY YEAH,” some members seem to be poster children of that era. The recent YouTube video of three S2000 owners hooning [...]
Next Honda – To Go With Your S2000
We often like to tell others that our car revs motorcycle-like to a giddy 9,000 RPM (slightly less for the AP2) and it is a an attribute that has endeared the car to us. There is an inexplicable thrill that comes from keeping the revs close to or at 5,500 RPM and stepping on the [...]
