My son and I went to a late movie last night and stopped at a burger joint on the way home. We were in the drive thru and some kid asked me what kinda car it was. I told him it was a Ferrari, the "new S2000 series" and he actually believed me. (I've got Rick's body/wheel badges.)
Then I told him that the Honda emblem on the steering wheel was not really there - it was just his imagination. His three buddies laughed him out of the car. FUN

Can't wait to get that new Rick's badge for the steering wheel.

 

I had just walked out of my local Pizza place last friday nite and put the Pizza on the passenger seat (top down), walked around to the driverrs side and got in. Just before I hit the start button this guy (maybe early 50's) comes out of Pizza place and walks around back of me towards his duelly pick up. He gets next to my door and says "manificant car". Got a big grin on my face and said thank you very much. He said "I bet it handles pretty good to". I said "like on rails.

He looked up and down it again, shook his head, smiled and got into his pickup. Ask me how great that felt.

 

I really like the look of the S2000. I came REALLY close to buying an 02 Suzuka Blue a dealer had on their lot. When the weather is really nice and I see one I get small pangs of regret. If only I had a bigger garage...

Hey, would one of you with a Suzuka Blue keep it in really nice shape for me. I'll be in the market for one some day.

 

We get Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on the door most weekends. I usually take the literature and say thanks, goodbye. One weekend, one of them comes back in his '70's triumph and wants to talk about the S2000. I'm thinking that I would have invited him in earlier if he wanted to talk cars, instead of religion. We talked for a while and he asks if he could drive it and says I could take his triumph for a spin too. I guess you get kind of ballzee walking up to strangers to discuss religion!

 

just about an hour ago i went over my friend's house to chill for a bit and as i pulled into his street this guy was getting out of his explorer. he ran from his explorer up the street to my friend's house and waited for me to get out. as i stepped out of the car he greeted me with a handshake and a barrage of questions. he loved the car and couldn't stop complimenting me about it. this has been, by far, the most outgoing fan of the S that i have encountered.

hey 'smyroad...i just read through your post and realized that the guy that talked to me today also started talking about the triumph. the 70s was far before my time and i just nodded and smiled as he continued on about the car. i guess it's the start button that triggers the reference to the triumph...correct me if i'm wrong...

I get all kinds of strange questions and comments. The top two were "Is that the car with the funky pedals?" (WTF?) and "That's the Lexus S430 right?" (double WTF?) Sometimes its better to leave the radio turned up when you see them trying to get your attention.
Oh yeah had a guy the other day try to ask me a question while the window on his own car was rolled up! Still haven't figured out what he was trying to say.
