I've had my 2002 Spa Yellow S2000 for almost 2 months. I love it. I love the performance. I love the color. I love the car.

However.....

I'm sick of people constantly trying to race me AND I'm sick of the 'friendly' jokes about how queers prefer yellow cars. Give me a break! I'm no homophobe, but this is starting to wear on me.

I got both of these types of comments within a mile of each other yesterday in Dallas. (And let's not start with the Texas-sucks garbage. This can happen anywhere).

A new Yukon with low-profile tires pulled up next to me honking his horn and gunning his engine. I had to ignore him while he persisted for several seconds, repeatedly honking and reving his new ride. He eventually left, only to be replaced by a black Trailblazer packed with male and female 20-something punks who were laughing and blowing kisses at me. I wouldn't have been offended except that the guys we the ones laughing and blowing the kisses. What a bunch of jealous dorks and pea-brains.

I got the Spa Yellow because I honestly think it is the best looking color available (no offense to the rest of you). It certainly stands out. But I get the stupid 'fairies drive yellow' comments from friends a little too often and I'm growing tired of the ability of this color to draw in the punks on the highway.

AARRRGGHHHH!

They're just jealous. You really think any of them wouldn't jump at a chance to drive your car. Besides, who really cares what others think. Screw em!!!!


BTW - I can say TX sucks cause I've lived there! j/k

It takes a big man to drive a yellow car in a light pink tee shirt. It takes an even bigger man to laugh at me while i'm doing that.

Make sure you travel with a hot babe next to you. That alway's works.

I think you should install the Texas Hat rack (Reads Gun Rack) in back, this should slow them down some.

I would have never thought about this kind of resonse from anyone. Let me see, who does not sell a Bright Yellow car....Lincon....Cadilac....Buick... I guess thats is it.

The racing part is something we all experience -- every lamebrain in a 1987 Sentra seems to want to square off against me. Why do these people bother???
The yellow business -- well, I drive a New Formula Red. People probably just figure I'm going through a Mid-Life crisis or otherwise compensating!

It is my opinion that if I drove a yellow Z06 or a yellow Viper, people would leave me alone. Just last week, I saw a new yellow 911 Turbo and no one was trying to race him! Especially not me.

I think it has something to do with the fact that it is a convertible and a Honda. That seems less threatening than a Viper or a Porsche so they go ahead and act like idiots or toss out some gay remark. Morons.

Every car comes with an image stigma of some sort. Examples:

Camaro = driver robs 7-11s
Corvette = driver picks up waitresses and wears gold chains
Porsche = driver is an @sshole
Miata = driver is gay
Pontiac Aztek = driver is blind and/or insane

Needless to say, this message is meant in fun and I don't agree with any of these stereotypes.


Well, maybe the Aztek....

they just wish they can drive a s2000. i have a yellow s2000 and the only thing i hear is people say stuff like "bring daddy's car home" and stuff on that catogory. never got called any names over the color though. i like the color. there are some cars that look great in yellow and there some that don't. yellow is a sporty color and that is what our car is. just ignore the jealous punks and enjoy your cruise.
