Default I love my S!

We bought our S2K with the intention of using it as a weekend/date car. We're lucky enough to live in S. CA. and work appx. 1/2 mile from one another and so we carpool 99% of the time. We thought we'd use my wife's car (2002 Lexus IS300) as our daily driver.

Well, the weather here is so damn good we've been taking my car now nearly every day.

This morning, we left the house at 7AM and while traffic was starting to build up, the road was still open enough to really enjoy this little jewel. Top down, boot cover on, windows down and stereo off, we both really enjoyed our 20 mile drive to work. Our drive is about half streets, half freeway and it is so much fun in this car.

S2K's are getting more and more common here in S. CA but our bright yellow stunner still gets looks and comments. Most importantly, it puts a smile on our faces every time we see it let alone drive it.

Thank you Honda.

Luckily, here in NE Ohio there aren't a lot of S sitings. I gotta say though that the Spa does stick out in a crowd.

OhioRacer,

Just got back from a fantastic 12 hour, 422 mile Hocking Hills cruise. If you haven't tried this area, you must!!!!! It is a 100% guaranteed scenic thrill ride of concentrated roller coaster hills and twisties. Very little traffic. I remember being held up only a couple of times once by a Dodge van and another time by an F-150. Lake Hope is also a beautiful place to stop for lunch. Just gotta love a day in an S2K!

OhioRacer,

I enter HH from the northeast so am coming down Rt 56 out of Circleville to Laurelville. Then Rt. 180 N to Rt. 374 S or W (right turn) to Rt 664 S (right turn) to South Bloomingville. Then Rt 56 E through the HH area. I like to run Big Pine Rd. by taking Rt. 374 N(from Rt. 56 between S. Bloomingville and Hue) , then Rt. 664 N to Big Pine. Big Pine then returns you to Rt. 56 at Haynes, east of S Bloomingville. I have a book, "Ohio County Maps" which has been an invaluable companion which I keep under the passenger seat. A Hocking Couty Sherrif's Deputy told me about the twisties on Rt. 664. Have fun!!!
