Default "Convertables, Modern Marvels" on tonight on the History Channel

On the promo they had several shots of the s2000. Last night on "Drag Racing" they actually had about the first 10mins featuring some Hondas at Fontana.

a few shots of our car in the beginning and great history... but i fell asleep before the end-
since it was a history of convertibles, they were going from the beginning of time to now- so my guess is that our car was at the end... anyone see it?
pretty cool cadillac v-16 !! put vtec on that baby and lose about 2 tons of weight and it would move out!

it was in the intro... a few diff times- very brief shots.
so it wasnt in the later part of the show?
wow, that is very disappointing- it is certainly a "news-worthy" convertible!

I taped it, but not much of our S. Nice Ferrari to start the show, but more about the History of convertibles and how it changed/modernized w/ time.
Duhhhhhh, History channel, Modern Marvels.
Unless you are a history buff, you didn't really miss that much. Any locals want to borrow my tape, you are more than welcome to. I also taped some of that History of Sex that followed, but fell asleep.

I turned it on 10 minutes in, so I missed the S. But the show over all was pretty interesting. Lots of nice classics.

I missed the beginning so I didn't see the S at all. They wasted a lot of time on the Lexus. Of course the owner was an older poser who was only interested in how the top went down in 23 seconds. Isn't that the same as the 1/4 mile time for that slug?
