Default The Elegant S2000

I live in Toronto, and s2000's here are as rare as Aston Martins.

With the top down, I like to listen to the greatest music written, the classics of Bach,Beethoven,Chopin and others.

At traffic lights, some people look bewildered at the car pumping out this peerless art, but on more than one occasion, a person comments that the car suits the music well.

Elegant music, elegant car I suppose.

The only downside is the gloriously tuned engine note cancels out many bits of the beloved music. Ah well.

Hard to level with you because I constantly blast heavy music, but I think that's cool. To each his own...you'd be surprised how many people don't have the guts to blast their music when the top is down, cause everyone can hear it.

I wouldn't call the car elegant by any means, only because when I think of elegance I think of a car that has wood grain, heated seats, smooth ride, etc. That is NOT the S2000 . I would call it graceful though.

i blast my music when driving, but i hit the "decrease the sound 10 levels" button when pulling up to a stoplight. i hate it when i'm sitting at a light with some guy playing his rap so loud the panels on his car are about to fall off.

Top down I'm always super shy when music is playing, especially when coming to a stop I almost turn the volume off!

Clapton...I couldn't agree more. Cream is one of my all-time favorites!
