The S2k definitely gets reactions. Mustangs and Integras rev on me at every stoplight. Women want to go for rides on sunny days. Older guys tell me tales of their youth, back when real men drove British sports cars and carried baling wire and a wiring diagram. Honda punks sit up from the gangsta lean position and give me a half-wave. Auto-X guys tell me all their war stories. S2k owners that I don't even know drive by my driveway, honk, and wave when I'm washing my car. I think people respect the S2k.

Oh yeah, it's "just a Honda." Thank god I didn't buy a snobby Euro car, I don't think I can tolerate any more attention.

You bought the sissy color. What can you expect?

Very funny thread. Try to explain what BMW M5 is to normal people. You think explain s2k is bad... LOL..

PS. I still do have to explain what S2K is all about.

I love the fact that most people don't understand what our car is all about. Hopefully the less people that understand it, the less "HONDA" S2000's I will see on the road. So....ssshhhh Let them think what they want and enjoy your factory sleeper
