Meh.

I don't get to drive mine very much.

But that is fine, my DD Civic has officially taken three bullets for the sake of my S2000 in it's daily duties.

My biggest regret other than selling my S was not having the top down enough. Maybe it's because I had a hardtop but there were so many beautiful days that I kept the top up for no reason. Definitely going to have to change that with round 2!

It was about 30 degrees this morning when I went to work top down.
Very refreshing. My wet hair froze though...

Never wanted a convert before ...then after waiting for years for a cp version of the S I broke down and got a convert ...I've never looked back , but if I do its mostly air "hence Topless most of the time " With the top down at about 8200rpm I break out into an uncontrollable smile ..ear to ear all the way to 9k ...shift and do it again ...repeat until gas or food is needed ...my idea of a good day /night.

The S is an almost perfect balance between a modern sports car and a vintage roadster. I really enjoy being top down, not to be seen, but to see (and hear and feel). I also have a TSX, great car but I feel so isolated. That's OK when the weather is bad or you want to have a conversation. When I want feel ALIVE, I drop the top, hit the gas and row them gears.
