I found this out in June, so it is a little belated... but after seeing my dumba$$ in the FreshWater 2004 DVD... I thought I'd post and admit ignorance before it comes back to bite me in the butt!

So the story goes:

Mid Spring, on a sunny day... back in the good ol' year of 2001... I bought my brand new... fresh from the factory MY02 Suzuka Blue S2000! Enthusiasm was just the tip of the ice-berg... with a whole monster lying 'n wait under the water! At the time I was so overwhelmed by having the first Suzuka blue in Michigan... that I failed to notice first: my saleswomen was worthless- second: I overpaid by about 4g's, and third: THAT THERE WAS A SECRET COMPARTMENT!!

All this time... I've read threads with your typical witty rhetoric... never taking the time or caring to realize that there was some truth to all the :bs:. I seriously thought it was no more than an inside joke...

...and then... at the tour, I see about 2 or 3 people at one of our pit-stops with their UPPER COUNSEL OPEN!!?? :confused: :thinker: :eek3: ...I run over in disbelief... and there it was- The Secret Compartment!

Well initially, I couldn't get that Saturday Night Live bit, with Rob Schneider, out of my head; "Dude... you can hide your :reefer: in there!" ...as I thought of so many ways to make money crossin' over into Windsor, CA a couple times a week!
...but then... I realized...

Who the owns a car for THREE years... and overlooks something like this!!


Well... I guess I do! :D :D :D ;)

Oh... and I'll put on my flame suit! :flame:

o...m...g.... :rofl: :rofl:

5 months for me, man. And it took S2Ki to show me the light...er dark hole.

[joeking1978]

lol... 5 months isn't bad... but it ain't no 3 YEARS!!

All the things I could have hidden in there... :egads: ;)

[Cannonbear]

In the three years you've had the car, you never ONCE looked at the compartment?

i found it in the showroom (my salesman was worthless as well, but i got a good price cut on it by 4g's hehe).

[aznprydefloz]

lol. i found it after a week of ownership.

[joeking1978]

well if you think about it... you can look at the main compartment 1000 times... but there is nothing really that directs you to the compartment above it... but yes... I am :freak1:

[Kwando]

No spas at the freshwater tour? that is a shame!

[joeking1978]

no... there were about 4 or 5... they coincidentally all missed the group shot by the beach... but they are in numerous others.

There is a group shot from the hotel roof... showing them all grouped... and you can see them all then.

That beach shot only has about 75% of the cars... cause it was the last day and many had to bolt and couldn't make it to the Tirerack to autoX

[Anrosphynx]

took me about a week to find the secret compartment. However, I would never have found it if it weren't for S2ki.com

[RotoRooter]

It took me a year to finally notice that there is a holder for the gas cap :banghead:

[R11]

Well, you know, there is always the owners manual.... :p

It takes a big man to admit this. And, a rather embarrased one, I imagine. ;)

[Woodson]

Guess you didn't read the manual.

[cacophony82]

reading a owners manual is like reading directions, that shits for suckers

;)

[BOXMN]

1 year for me, i found the owners manual in there.

[Rio S2K]

I actually knew about the secret compartment well before I ever purchased my '04. Aren't I special? :p

[WtbS2k]

:rofl: :rofl:
Funny as usual :rofl: :rofl:

[Saud2k]

OWNED!
its ok....i got to teach someone that last month about it...he ,like you, has been clueless for about 2 1/2 years:D

[joeking1978]

lol... yeah... it takes a big man to admit it... but an even bigger man to say what I'm about to say:


GAS CAP HOLDER!!???



:rofl: :rofl:

Just joeking! I found that about 6 months before the Secret Compartment! ;) (always saw it... just never took the time to see what it is)

...and as for Owners Manuals... how can you read what you think you don't have!!?? :D

[fltsfshr]

Just to save you another three years...

The Super Secret Compartment is behind the trunk liner to the left of the spare tire. You can get a lot of stuff in there.

[joeking1978]

Super secret huh...? I might have to go check this one out! ;)

:rofl:

First time I sat in the car, opened the glove box and fliped the lid.... seemed intuitive to me :confused:

Maybe I'm shorter and could see it better?
