I scared the sh*t out of one of my buddies. Just picked up the s2000, had already broken it in and was giving him a ride around a residential area in Walnut Creek late, late one night. Needless to say I wasn't driving very slow. Comming up to a T, I had to go either left or right, I kept on the throttle weel up to the turn, even trail breaking around it. About 100ft out, still accelerating, he grabs the door handle with one hand, at about 75ft out he braces himself against the windshield frame with the other, at about 50 ft, still on the throttle, he yells "OHHHHHH SH*****T!!!!!!". I nail the breaks and pull a hard left.

All he could say was "Holly Sh*t! "

Just after I got the car I was giving a friend a lift and we spotted this 911 in front of us, in traffic. He asked if I thought I could get past it.....

two minutes later, after A LOT of lane changing and VTEC'ing, when he looked back at the Porsche, he just sat there and said "shit this is a quick motor...!"

hehehehe I love it!!!

I was coming home from the movies tonight and was giving my friend a ride for the first time in the S2K. I was just cruising along on 101 at 70mph in the #3 lane decompressing from watching Training Day (very intense movie) and this 240SX comes up on me and starts tailgating me. Once traffic opens up he lines up across from me and I think he wants to race. So I drop into VTEC and punch it; within seconds, my digital display was in triple digits. My buddy's trippin off the adrenaline rush; I think his words were something like damn this thing gets up to a 100 fast!!! BTW, the 240SX was toast.

Yeah...most people don't really understand the joy we get..until they get inside the car, and feel the difference! Then there's also the issue of your friends all fighting to see who gets to ride passenger in the S2K!

Top down, vtec, open road!!!

On one of my high speed runs, my passenger grabbed ahold of the door handle and started to get lower in the seat. She was trying to make sure her head was underneath the roll bars.
