y'all are assuming just cuz someone looks your way they're admiring your car when in fact it could be more along the lines of a chick looking at you funny cuz you got this really thick nose hair sticking out your nose...

the rice boys (S2000 rice boys included) suffer from a more acute version of this mistaken identity syndrome

At a recent track event at Little Talladega one of the Ferrari owners was the pit lane controller and he told me what a beautiful car I had. By the way, there were 308's, 328's, a F355, 360's, a 575, a Diablo, a Countach, and several Vipers there. That was very kind of him to say something about the S.

The other day at a toll booth, the operator was so impressed that he said he should let me go for free.

I get comments every now and then -- most recently a couple in a guys in a yellow Miata we're very chatty. "Man, I want your car so bad, you have no idea!" I just had to grin ...

I don't know if I should even address the "attention" question. I've never owned a car with such an attention quotient until I got my spa. I didn't buy it for attention, but attention is what it gets. Since day one, the spa has garnered an amazing amount of attention. Some good -- the thumbs up kids, knowledgable adults who circle the car making kind comments and are amazed at its engineering -- and some bad -- the police. I live in Frederick MD, and, I believe there are only about six S's. One white, two silver, a red, and two spas. (I saw the other spa on a used car lot last week. Apparently the kid who owned it and who worked at a local restaurant couldn't keep it for some reason. Poor soul. And, I'd like to meet the blond driving one of the silver ones ) So, the car is "rare" in Frederick (a city of about 60,000 or so). On the other hand, I've been stopped four times for speeding since I got the car in July 2002 --(three warnings, one ticket). I've been driving since 1964 and have never attracted THAT much attention from the cops, except during my college days between 1966 and 1970 :-) Now, if only I could validate FormulaRedS2K's experience of having "a fair share of chicks showing their tits out the windows of cars, flashing, asses, so on and so forth..." But that would probably still my 55 year old heart, but what a way to go!!!
