The look they give to your CRX might be totally different from the look they give to your S.
Yes, that's true, as well as the age group giving the looks

Yes, I still get looks. After 8 years of ownership and lots of little nicks and dings my car still draws attention even if its dirty. It gets even more attention with the top down. With the top down, its like an open invitation to start a conversation at a stop light or even while cruising! I still love talking about my car and I indulge all questions. Its definitely the closest I'm ever going to get to feeling like a star. lol.


The only drawback is the seemingly endless parade of econobox cars that want to race. That's never going to change I think. Its just unwise to conduct a street race in general, and especially at the times I usually get the offer.

All the time both good and bad good from random people especially if the car stands out I have a spa with cf hood and slammed just the other day alittle boy said look at the bumble bee and the bad is from the cops my car stands out alot in my neighborhood and they like to pull me over for no reason but I never get a ticket and its funny to see the look on their face when they know I'm right and can't give out a ticket

Comments and questions seem to come about 50% of the time.
You automattically know that other drivers on the road or Hyw. are staring.
I've even noted a few times that cars in front of me will slow down to let me run in front of them just so they can look a little longer and a little closer.
I've owned 5 Vettes in a period that spanned 16 years and not a one of then attracted as much attention as this little car.
It has to be the relative rarity. I drove this car to Calif. from Florida and I only recall seeing two S's on this 2400mi trip and one of them was on a dealer delivery truck. I-10 through cities like Houston and Pheonix and you think you see several. I didn't.

i stare at my car constantly

as for other people, i notice young people will look but frequently not say anything... women 35+ tend to be the ones walking up and complimenting me, and the occasional car-junky dude. one moron went up to me drunk off his a** and continuously called it an "S9000." I didn't bother correcting him.

then there's the haters... one time had a conversation with a guy about cars in general, i said i had a s2k and he said "ya i don't really like hondas. i guess the s2000 is ok tho."

Just seems to me that a side shot of a Berlina Black S2000 and the below aircraft have similar fast looks.

I get looks all the time, I notice people doing full turn arounds on the side of the road or on sidewalks as I drive by. Mostly younger guys but I've noticed a few ladies checking it/me out.
