I agree this board is a bit biased, but realistically it is hard not to be biased. Backing that check I wrote may be all I have.

I used to drive a 1/2 ton pickup before this. Do you think that many of these blind honda backers would have even talked to me if I drove up to meet. Pashaaaa

Overall the real value of this sight is not the numskulls that continually rave about how great the car is (we already know that) but how it compares to the cars in our past, present and future. Perhaps even more important is getting to trade ideas and meet up with entrepeneurs like rick, mingster, muz...need I go on., that can add a few things to our car that can make some of those faults in the car less. As for those faults that can't be addressed, oh well, I'm not going to sell it for a lack of torque. If I wanted alot of torque- I would have kept my p/u.

Let's see, I've owned Ford's (many), Chevy's (many, and currently), Caddy's, Lincoln's, Pontiac's, Plymouth's (yes), Dodge's, Olds, Merc's, Fiat's, Triumph's, MG's, Toyota's, VW's, Honda's and I'm sure I've left several out. I love cars and I would own at least one of each if I could afford to. Do I like Honda's the best? As a company, yes. Are there cars I would rather own than the S2000? Most likely, but I don't have the money to buy them. Do I think the S2000 is perfect? Hell no, but I think it's the best money can buy for under $50,000 to $60,000.

Well said, I parallel most of your history with the exception of Fiat, MG and Triumph's. I think the S2000 is a great car for the money but not the BEST street car out there. That would have to be a McClaren. End of subject

Of course this board is Biased, its a forum full of S2000 owners.
Some worked hard to earn their S2000.
Some treat their cars better than they treat themselves.
Many want questions answered
Many more answer these questions
Most love the Honda S2000
Most have a good time with the forums
ALL have their own opinion.

remember,

Man elanderholm, who called you a moron. I love the little stooky too but it ain't the end all eather. I'd really like to have a Lotus Esprite Turbo or an NSX, or even my old faithful *snif* 1965 Ford Fairlane 289. Nothins perfect but my old 1965 GTO 421 came close *bigger SNIF*. You know there was only 2500 made ever! What did I do AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGGG. See now I 'm gettin myself depressed. Eather way there is a great big world full of wonderful autos out there and if I ever catch up with my borther, I'm gonna beat him to a pulp for selling the Hemi Cuda. Do you know how much there going for now. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH *sob*.

Don't sweat the small stuff bro! You wouldn't believe the things I have to listen to everyday, in my line of work. PM me sometime I'll tell you. It rated XXXX and not for adult consumption.

I do agree with you. Seeing how the entire 2002 Rear Glass Window played out was very interesting. Insults were flying because someone had a different opinion. However, in general, this board is VERY informative and most people are extremely helpful.

Maybe you're hanging out with the wrong section of S2000 fans? Cuz there are plenty of people out there who find the stook to have lots of potential for improvement. I'll not mention certain other flamewars here in the past.

There are myriad different types of people. It's what makes humanity great. I'd be horrified to find myself in a place where everybody's the same.
