Default Defend your car at GranTurismo.com

Sorry for this troll of a post...
I run an auto enthusiast forum and recently a thread begun that has been spewing misinformation about the wonderfull S2000. I frequently see S2000s at the track and I know what they are capable of... but since I am not an owner, its difficult to convince those who don't know what they are talking about...

check it here:

(moderators/admins, if you feel this is an unacceptable thread please PM me and remove this thread ASAP)

it's a dumb thread. lots of babbling and arguing over technicalities of the english languge like the meaning of the word "subjective" rather than discussion of the car. The goon that started the thread thinks the S2000 is a brand new car and goes to look up an article that can only get the S to run a 15.1 quarter mile.

not going to waste my time registering and posting there.

I am running out of incentives to join all the boards that continue to spread misinformation and stupidity regarding the S2000 and thus feel obliged to just simply enjoy my car and hope everyone else (who doesn't already own one) continues to think it's an underachieving, average MPG-getting, no-torque-having, snap-oversteering death trap. That way, I won't have to see myself coming and going and will continue to enjoy answering everyones questions when I'm idling at
a red light.

hehe, I know how all of you feel.

I'm an NSX owner, and everyone rags on me how its overpriced and such... too bad they never driven one before. If they had, they would all sing praises like they should. Also, I bought mine for half the price of a new one, which makes it even sweeter.

Who cares what the unenlightened think? I'm not getting a commission, so I have no reason to sell anyone on the car.

yeah, I don't see why people think so much about that on sports cars. Other sports cars get low MPG also
