Default NSX Encounter

I brought my Silverstone AP1 to work the other day and came up to a silver NSX in traffic. Luv that car and gave him a short honk and thumbs up of appreciation. He ignored me completely and I guess was expecting some kind of Team Honda bro acknowledgement. Not sure if he was dissing me or just preoccupied in thought.

Probably a Ex-BMW or Porsche driver

The NSX owners usually appreciate the S2000.

He was probably trying not to laugh at your stock horns (AP1 owner here as well).

I used to have an NSX, loved it. Now an S2k, love it too. Hopefully he was preoccupied in thought

...the feels are even worse when it's another S2000 owner that seems to ignore you.

Yup, I always wave or throw the peace sign to S2000 owners, but I find very, very few of them ever acknowledge it. It is a habit from my Corvette days where every Corvette owner would wave back to you every time. I guess we aren't as friendly as Corvette owners, lol, as harsh as that may sound.

No, it's even worse when Miata owners wave to you, then realize you're not a miata, and just look puzzled.

f@#k those guys.

Hahahaha ^

I always wave or throw a peace sign if I see another s2000 on the road. I've come to realize that many of the middle aged owners won't acknowledge you in general. What puzzles me is that usually when I receive a comment on my car it's from a middle aged individual obviously driving a different car.

Many moons ago, when I had my BMW 2002Ti --- BMW drivers ALWAYS high-beam flashed. That died quickly with the advent of the 3-series BMWs. Now, many of those drivers don't even acknowledge you, when you honk & flash at them for being stopped at a green light. Demographics sure have changed. Not even Porsche drivers wave or whatever at each other anymore.

I honestly thought this tradition died a LONG time ago. Until I bought the S2000. Nice to see car enthusiasts still exist.
