Default I hate to say it but...

Well, I had another tiburon encounter on my way home from work. A red tiburon GT with a red GT sticker in the back window. It had dual exhaust, and I don't know if that's stock or not??? (i assume so)

He was flyin along, and after flying by me, I caught back up to him. Yeah, I was lookin for trouble, but hey... I was bored. He never got around to playing, so before we ran back into traffic, I downshifted and went to about 110mph for my own amusement. (top down )

I will assume he knows he's out of his league and where he sits on the food chain.

But I did take a good long look at the car. Other than the sticker, it looked like everything else was stock. And I hate to say it, but I'm really liking the look of those tiburons. It looks really sharp, even my fiancee thinks so. (and that says a lot for her to take interest in another car)

Hmmm, daily driver and winter car???

I just might have to pick one up someday....

Well I think I'm going to go to the dealer and try to take one for a little spin.

But I'm not going to be in a position to buy right now, so what lie can I come up with to get a test drive, but then get away from the damn high pressure salesman?? lol

the car is fine and all, but WHY do they always come looking for me? everytime i see one, they give me the "you want some???" look. i'm just another innocent looking guy just trying to get from point A to point B. pls, if you buy the car, don't buy the "attitude" ok? haha

i think for the money, it's a great car.

when i go to the dealer, they see the S2000 and mostly they give me a fair bit of attention (more so than when i had my civic). i tell them "i'm looking for a daily driver". just be flat out with it. when i say that, they understand, especially if they know what an S2000 is (no room in trunk, 2 seater, etc). at the end, say "well, it's just not what i want from a car. not as roomy as i expected from the articles and i think i i need leather (doesn't come as an option right?)" or something like that. then give them the key and just RUN!! lol
