When I bought my S2000, I owned a copier and fax machine dealership. Once I got the car, I got real paranoid about the front getting chipped up so I checked the web for somebody selling a bra like I had on my other two Hondas.

Somebody suggested I try StonGard, a company that makes the transparent bras and they had a kit for the S2000. At $500 bucks I thought it was kinda pricey but if it worked as advertised, my car was worth it. I called them the next day and found out the nearest installation location to me in Atlanta was Pheonix!

Long story short, I sold my business to market StonGard here in Georgia.

My life is TOTALLY different now. All because of the S2000.

I spend all day on this board and other S2000 related websites when I should be working or spending time with my GF.

I'm thinking of starting an S2KAnonymous club for other junkies.

I saved a lot of money on gas. I was driving a V8 sedan or a Turbo Porsche most of the time. Those cars needed to be filled twice a week for my commute. Now I can go all week on a single tank. It used to cost me close to $35 to fill one of my cars. Now I can do it for just over $20. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it sure adds up.

Well, no. It hasn't changed my life.

Any new car/bike/object is sacred for a week or two...a bra, or "nose guard" in industry speak is just a way to wither your paint away under a dealer mark-up item which ultimately makes your paint worse than day-to-day usage...ferget-about-it.

Don't drive behind granite trucks. Don't follow too close and understand that there is no appreciation in an automobile.

That said, it is better than the Prelude but much less so than "ANY BIKE I HAVE EVER OWNED" short of the XR75. This thing is an in-line 4 bike with 2 seats. VERY impractical day-to-day but a joy to drive everytime I get in in it....please, please don't use it to commute...drive it like you stole it.
