This guy was in front of me from my condo until the highway. He was in an old 1980 POS VW Jetta that was burning oil. I have nothing against VW's or Jettas but this one was a POS. There was plenty of traffic on the back roads and school buses etc. I wasn't riding his ass, just enjoying the crisp morning air with the top down.

When I went left to go to the highway and he went straight he yelled out his window:

"It's still a Honda you prick!"

I just sat there stunned going since I don't know this person and never did anything to provoke this remark. My only guess is he is jealous and maybe he didn't realize that my Ricks badges say "S S2000" Maybe he thought the S stood for.....Serrari? Samborghini? Sorsche? I dunno. It's not like I have the ferrari badge on my car or something crazy like that. My S2000 IS a HONDA and I love it for what it IS.

Other than the Ricks badges, I still have the S2000 logo on the side, and I haven't don't any body mods or anything to make it look like something it isn't.

Oh well just had to vent....mean people suck

Some people are just ignorant. Especially, coming from someone in a POS VW Jetta.

Sounds like the guy is just bitter, but IMHO I do think it is dumb to replace the Honda H on any car that is indeed a Honda. The S badging is just as dumb as the Acura badging here in the good ol' US of A. Both seem to be examples of trying to make certain Hondas "more special" for the sake of snob appeal. By that's just my perception...
