I've had my S2K for almost three months now and I swear that I'm just as thrilled with the car now, as I was the first day I drove it home.

So tell me guys,(and ladies), does the excitement ever subside, or can I look forward to feeling this way for a long time to come?

I have been driving my S2K for 18 months and the appreciation of this car is still very present> I still salute the designer of the car every time I turn the ignition on. I have been driving sports cars for many years and this little Honda is one hell of a car. The time will definitely confirm this car as a classic like the Porshe 356 and similar great cars of later design. Enjoy the narrow winding roads the car is built for.
This is just my opinion and I could be wrong.

I took delivery the end of the first week they were available and had a blast driving it today even in bumper to bumper Atlanta traffic. The newness may wear off, but not the excitement.

Try this- park it in the Garage and only drive it on weekends. Wash it before you put it away. Everytime you open the garage you'll smile like a little kid getting his first bike.

Its kinda like SEX.....it can get old but then just when you thought it was getting old. You do something differently and its fun all over again. Usually it is when somebody makes a comment on the car or when I get a damn long stare. As for SEX well lets say different places and well not TOYS but things like rope make it different. OK I said way to much! LOL!
