Default Gush: I LOVE THIS CAR!

Every time I take it out of my garage, the experience gets even better.

Yesterday, I took my first night drive. I turned on the low beams and my entire garage was ablaze with white light -- but only below the car's beltline. Honda may not be the only manufacturer using these plasma discharge headlamps, but WOW!!! I LOVE THIS CAR!

Constantly, I am mulling over just which gear leaves me poised to get the most enjoyment out of a corner. It isn't really a question of which gear I have to be in -- only which will be fun. I LOVE THIS CAR!

I push the auto-down window switch, and it works. I LOVE THIS CAR (well, at least for now )

I popped in my latest Sheryl Crow CD and realized that the dealer had set the treble and bass all wrong. I was a little worried that I'd have to go aftermarket. Then, I made some adjustments, and the sound is just right. OK, it could probably benefit from a subwoofer, but that's nitpicking. I LOVE THIS CAR!

The color. Oh my god! The blue is BETTER than I thought it would be when I ordered the car. I'm ordering a king's ransom of Zaino stuff tomorrow (and I don't care!). I LOVE THIS CAR!

There are a bunch of people around the world who did their time and waited for their cars. s2ki.com let's us share good and bad stories, and even provides for the insomniacs and other fun posters in the "Corner".

Best wishes, folks. Smiles from ear to ear. The owner experience is awesome!

Many on this board know exactly how you feel, Chazmo. There's no better fun to be had behind the wheel.

Thanks so much Charly. Like-named (and like-minded apparently)

Not to start a war, but how does the whole package compare to your Mister 2?

Chazmo, the MR2 cannot match the performance of the S2000 (stock for stock), but there are three things I prefer about the MR2:

1) its gearbox is noticably smoother-shifting than the S

2) it has a softer, less stiff ride than the S

3) its ragtop completely disappears when down, presenting a much more pleasing set of lines than the S

Cons for the MR2: almost no storage space and cheaper-appearing interior finish.

Lee,

Gush is the sound of my wallet opening and 32 big ones flowing out for my car Actually, I was just trying to show my emotions.

Charly,

Thanks for the summary on the Mister2. The soft ride could definitely be an advantage for a long trip, but I think overall I like the hard ride of the S. You just can't feel more connected to the road! The MR2 is a sweet looker though, ain't it? Best wishes!

Chazmo, I love the look of both. The S has the agrressive, classic look, while the M is more "cute" and "futuristic", if you will.
Back at ya with the wishes.

Charly, do you still keep all your other cars in your sig around? That's quite a stable!

You gotta check out my "worst car names" thread in the Corner.... You won't believe what someone dug up on "Previa"

They're all still mine. I haven't read the worst car names thread, but I know what previa means. I see them at least once a week.

Charly,

Either you're a gynecologist, or I am very, very scared
