Drive by a High School and watch the kids turn their heads as you go by!

Usually positive reaction from all walks of life though some ass clowns still think it's a "G_Y" car

Yea, it's one thing for kids to watch a loud car go by. I'm most surprised that kids who were either barely or weren't born at all when the last one rolled off the production line can actually identify what it is immediately.

Not a fruity car --- but a "chick-mobile."

Even though I've only known one young woman to own and drive this car. And that because her Dad is a diehard Honda Fanboy. Err... Fanman, now.

Shari Belafonte has or had an S2000.

All the time. Actually, I get a ton of compliments from other S2000 owners, too.

Kids love it. And if anyone here doesn't think the S has developed a cult following, you've been living under a rock. Kids fetishize these cars for some reason, and don't seem to understand Hondas built in the late '90s and early '00s were super soft.

Yep I get lots of compliments on my S2K - when I stopped to take this pic at sunset I saw two twentyish looking dudes stop dead in their tracks to take pics of my car instead of the sunset

I'm an old guy who appreciates compliments, especially from the ladies when driving my S2000

But as my sister-in-law said

"dont get out of the car"

My wife always jokes with me since I have two little ones. She says "You're supposed to be a DAD!" Whatever that means

I've owned 5 S2000's in my lifetime, sadly, I sold my last s2000, a 2006 Berlina Black, 3 years ago. Every time I see one, my wife and I always stare wistfully. It's a classic and someday we will be back
