i haven't had a recent enough chance to get out an drive... and no nothing like my long distance business trips.. ( don't know when i'll get to do those anytime soon) but just the get out and top down listen to the exhaust cause there 's no one around but you.... i just got back to the house, yes in time so no one freaked out ( 4 those who understand ) and I had almost the complete trip of one of our comfortable back roads... all too myself... to feel the S2k pick up in gears an rev's, an feel then low speed high rev of a few twist down shifting, felt like i'm driving a car no other, without mods, feels like.. the S2000...

when I was a teen living on okinawa, the high school cool guys had cool cars.. being americans oversea's many brought their muscle cars with them, my dad took an olds cutlass s 350 4 barrel.. to an island where the Top Speed was 30... my first car there and my first standard transmission was a mazda luce 1500, 4 spd on the column, i don't know how fast it went, it went 30 and then some... but the roads, taught you upshifting and downshifting all around that island... for us now, related to at least the main story, a friend there, had a orange s 600 coupe, we drove that around the same island, those same twisty roads and the upshift an down.. that car came to mind today.. i didn't have to drive fast to feel it, remember 30 was the top speed, it was the sound of the engine and the click of the gearbox that sang it all... as i ended my journy, downshifted into first the garage door just cleared safety to know, timing is everything.. and the s2000 is a precision instrument.. go drive your S2000 today...

 

Nice story John.
