Just tell him to keep the rear tires at 40 psi, and you won't have to worry about the other S for too long.

I personally think you should get over yourself

I'd think it'd be flattering if someone wants to learn from me, and do something 'cause I did it. While at first annoying, yes. Take a minute and think about if you were him, and he were you. You'd be like "wtf, self centered asshole" At least I would.

Your car isn't special, I hate to tell you. Is it a nice car? Yes. Is it an enthusiasts car? Yes. But it isn't an FXX or F50, or Scuderia. Hell, it's not even an NSX. You dick isn't any bigger because you own one, and it sure can't get any smaller because some kids, evidently, look up to you.

Grow up.

Well im only 21 but i saved for the s2k since i was 17 bought when i was 19 and the rest was history and i just dont like the person because of who he is. its not that i dont want to help him i just dont like him. Im sure you have had people you just dont like. on top of that i have a great lack of respect for people who have their parents buy them their cars. Esspacially of this caliber.
Here's some free advice (you're getting what you paid for):

1. Aside from showing up on time to work, the other half of life is dealing with people you don't like. So, either deal with it, or don't. Every second you spend here bitching is YOUR time wasted. At this point in my life, there's nobody I "just don't like." If I don't like someone, it's for a VERY concrete reason. If I get a suspicion about somebody, I wait and see if it's true.

2. You can respect or disrespect any number of people for the crap their parents buy for them. However, here's some bad news (for you); we're experiencing the largest transfer of wealth from one generation to the other (even despite the "market correction"). So, depending on what socio-economic level you're at (and area you're in), you may find a lot more Douchebag Trustafarians than with which you might be comfortable. I suggest you suck up, deal, and work smarter than your nimrod peers. Reward those of your friends who get gifts with, "an attitude of gratitude."

3. "Caliber," in terms of ascribing a Honda to the rank of Veblen good, is pretty darn subjective in this case. I live in an area where getting a BMW 3-series on your 16th birthday is the "reasonable" benchmark. IMHO, the whole beauty of this car is that it provides a certain driving bliss at a price point that quite a few working stiffs can afford.

To take an exclusive or exclusionary tone is to be no less a douchebag than the silver-spooned sonofabitch you loathe. Shut up and drive.

I'm not a fan of her music. . . but I'd hit it (pardon the pun. . . ) .

You want to be unique? Driving a S2000 in America? Good luck with that.

who cares... do whatever u want, if they wanna copy, then they're just following u. I'm happy cuz I influenced someone to buy an s2k. I guess what irritates you is that they are riceboys. Yea that'd irritate me too since these morons will bring shitty reputation to s2k owners.
