Default First S Test Drive

Absolutely fell in love.

I'm looking around to buy my first s2000 and finally got a chance to test drive one today for the first time. Loved everything about the car. I didn't want to take it back!
The thing really was what everyone on this forum talks it up to be. Can't wait until I can finally purchase one.

First test drive I did was an 01 GPW/Red.
It was just starting to snow at 6pm (nothing was sticking) and I spent 10 minutes waiting for the salesman and tech to figure out how to open the gas tank so we could take it on an extended test.
Needless to say, I had a good time, trying out VTEC (was my first time ever experiencing it) and being amazed at the control and braking.

You got the bug son!

it was an 05 suzuka. ap2 is a little out of my price range, but really the only one around town right now available to test drive.

haha my first test drive was with an older lady at my local Honda dealership. It was an 06 silverstone/black-red. She didnt know how to drive a stick so I had to pull it out of its parking space.
SHe also would let me really push it because she said that there are always cops on that street.
