LOL! LordVagabond, I would suppose it depends on why somebody buys this car. I picked the car because of how it drove (as opposed to how I would look in it). I picked the color because it stands out.

That's the trouble with being an old fart. Instead of losing sleep over whether or not you "look cool," you focus your attention on silly things like driveability, steering response, braking feel. At some point, people are just going to have to accept me for who and what I am, and not what I'm trying to pretend to be. Granted, I'm as vain as the next guy, but if I were really worried about my appearance, I don't think I'd take a full head of hair and shave it off every football season.

There are two stereotypes that I fight in this car. The first is the NOS-blowing/street-racing/why-does-this-car-have-a-brake-pedal/who-cares-if-I-wrap-it-around-a-phone-pole-because-I'm-young-and-indestructible guy with more testosterone than IQ. The second is Ultimate Poser, who VTEC's only when showing off for the date who's wondering whether his tan or his hair is more fake. Being lumped together with either of these groups is enough to make sell the car... NOT! (but almost)

P.S. Use caution with too much gel, lest you be mistaken for one of the characters in Dragonball-Z (where the deadliest weapon is ultra-spiked hair).

I was meaning that if I had to drive the mountain twisties nude, I would do so... besides, it'd be a great way to meet exhibitionists

Believe me, I could care less how I look in an S2000... I jsut wanna DRIVE one

(BTW, if any of the admins have a problem with the way I am wording things, then I will happily edit my posts)

Shave your head, Knox Gelatain (works great on mohawks) or even better--silicon spray glue. It comes in blue, brown and clear.
