First time i ever considered an S2000 was when i was walking the lot at the dealership where i worked. I always walked the lot every morning to make sure i knew what had just come in, what had been sold etc... It was a chrysler dodge dealership, so the car was a used '01. I remember getting the key and trying to work out how to start the car. Everything about it was so foreign, and small! I took the car for a spin and it felt like i was part of the car! Like an extension of my body! The dealership also had a 04 crossfire, in the same color. It felt alot more luxurious, but as soon as i drove the s2k, i knew i had to have it! a week later, i had negotiated a deal with my manager and the car was mine!

 

That's what I'm wondering. I'd say hitting VTEC the first time was pretty memorable.

 

Persay is not a word, per se.

 

When so many people misspell words like "brake", "heel", and omfg spelling tread as "thread", I don't hold out much hope for Latin words being spelled correctly.

 

While we are on this subject, I will add my 2cents in as well. The commas go inside the quotation marks. So it would be "brake," etc. I hope I am 'wright'


Thank you for correcting me though. It did not show up on my spell check but I did notice it did not look right. Noted for the future.

I get the easy ones right such as brake/break.

 

Not up here.

 

first s2k i sat in was a GPW on tan MY03......i loved it, after i drove it i INSTANTLY fell in love with it.....didnt get the GPW one tho it was kinda bagged out ( used at a chevy dealership ).......2 weeks later i found my MY00 Silverstone with only 20,000 miles on it

 

No prob. I took Latin in college to fulfill my foreign language requirement, so I'm full of "useful" knowledge like that. I didn't really understand the difference between "e.g." and "i.e." until I took that class. Now, I laugh at people that misuse them.

Just to share the full extent of my remaining knowledge of Latin:
i.e.: "id est". Basically translates as "that is" or "it is".
e.g.: "exempli gratia". "For the sake of example", or just "for example".
etc.: "et cetera". "And the remaining/reset". Or just, "and so on".
et al.: "et alia". "And others". Generally used in citations, when crediting a group of people: "Dr. James Bond, et al."
per se: Literally, "through itself/himself/herself", or in my head I usually say "in and of itself", sorta like "on its own accord", I think.

And I saw this on a Grandfather clock at a friend's house:
tempus fugit: Literally, "time flees" (or flies).

Also, I think it's on the MGM intro (with the roaring lion):
Ars gratia artis: "Art for the sake of art". Or basically, "we do it because we love it."


Oh, and yeah... I'm way off topic here.

 

Wait til you get that Amuse on there

 

I saw the fenders and fell in love.

When I sat in it I knew it was true.
