Default Camaraderie amongst drivers

Having driven my S2000 for only 2 months now, I have come to realize here in Southern California at least, I always receive friendly gestures by drivers of other S2000's. Question: By driving an S2000, have I now become a member of an exclusive community? This car gets more attention than any other car I have ever driven. I am also amazed at how many posts there are for a car that stopped being produced a few years ago. BTW Southern California folks, the last 3 digits of my S2K's license plate is "555" just in case you are saying hello.

IMO, yes – you have become a member of an exclusive community. There's an auto commercial that perfectly defines our community – by presenting its antithesis. A young woman trots across the lot to one of those mini-SUV/tall wagon vehicles, gets in and proceeds to list the reasons why it's so awesome – by naming gadgets. We didn't buy gadgets. We bought a brilliant piece of machinery. We bought engineering for a different purpose – to stir the soul of the driver.

We nod at each other in mutual appreciation for the fantastic roadster we chose – because we 'get it' and we're pretty sure the other S2000 driver does too.

Congratulations on your purchase. Enjoy it!

The community is so exclusive that I've only seen two other S2Ks in the entire metro area in the last 10 years.

I want to wave to someone.

I think the S2000 community is more of a way of life then anything. Its Unlike any-other car group around iv ever seen so much Camaraderie between people. Every chance i get to Wave, Flash headlights whatever i do so. I believe this is one of those cars that's more then just a car.
