Remembering Soichiro Honda

The Fifth of August marks a quiet anniversary, an event that will most likely pass by unknown amidst the media circus over the Civic losing its Consumer Reports Recommendation and other worldly affairs. Twenty years have passed since Soichiro Honda breathed his last on August 5, 1991. He rose from humble beginnings to a position [...]

Pay It Forward

Paying it forward implies an act of kindness with the hope that the recipient will in turn be kind when it is his or her turn. The S2000 has given all of us a sense of owning something significant and very special. It has given us a community that has become woven into the fabric [...]

Summertime Bucket List

Summer is in full swing as evident from the record high temperatures experienced across most of North America. One would very likely have been subject to looks of astonishment from the rubberneckers in the nearby Prius or possibly subject to verbal abuse for driving with the top lowered in such heat. The world is full [...]

Don’t Hate, Appreciate!

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 [...]

Tire Tirade

My S2000 is ruined. There’s no one to blame but myself. I chose what I thought was a reasonable, budget-friendly option, and it turned out to be a horrible mistake. The only thing keeping me from complete misery is the knowledge that time and more money are all that’s required to rectify the situation. In [...]

Saving the Sports Car

At least once a year, this community is set abuzz by rumors that a successor to the S2000 is under development. So far, Honda has instead given us the deeply weird Crosstour and slow but strangely entertaining CR-Z. This has given me time to think about what I believe is essential to build a genuine [...]

Have You Discovered the Secret Yet?

We all have it, but some of us don’t know of its existence. It hides in plain sight camouflaged by all that surrounds it. It is associated with mystery and intrigue, although we are pretty sure that, nine times out of ten, it is discovered serendipitously and without subjecting one’s mind and body to the [...]

Click here for Part One. Click through for Part Two in which jeallen compares his AP1 and AP2 and describes why he seems to prefer driving one more than the other and more.

An S2000 Affair is Forever – Part 1 (The Madness Begins)

Our member, jeallen, shared his thoughts on his continuing affair with his S2000′s.

I Love the Smell of Brake Pads in the Morning (Commute)

I’m late for work at least once a week, and it’s my car’s fault. This cannot be ascribed to any mechanical malady or intolerance of cold or inactivity. Rather, it is due to a simple duality. There are two ways to get from my apartment to my office – the direct route or, to paraphrase [...]

Joplin, Missouri Needs Our Help

As you are all probably aware, Joplin, Missouri (MO), a city that is home to some of our owners, was struck by a tornado this past Sunday evening, a tornado that is being labeled as the deadliest tornado strike in the U.S. in 60 years. The count of lives lost has reached 117 and is [...]

What’s the Farthest You’ve Gone on a Tankful of Gas?

In theory, the S2000 should achieve 330 miles on a tankful of gas when driven on the highway at optimal speed. Our lives and daily commutes are anything but constant and frequently require us to take the path less traveled. This is all the more true when your choice of vehicle is a roadster like [...]

Speed Bumps: A New Owner’s Rough Start

Two cylinders. The third had died as I passed through the tollbooth, frantic to escape the freeway traffic with which I could no longer keep pace. Two clattering cylinders, just enough to limp into the first parking lot in sight, a rather dismal motel; any port in a storm. With a sinking heart and a [...]

A Honda S2000 with a Mind of Its Own

An anti-theft system is one of the most popular accessories for a vehicle and provides a psychological sense of security. Such systems vary in terms of features. Some of them are quite sophisticated and include GPS tracking, remote start functions and more while others are just a basic alarm system, no more and no less. [...]
