"Nice Miata!!"

"F you, buddy!!!"

 

Usually a "t-thanks" and proceed to trip over myself as I crab-walk to my car.

 

Same, that's what I say too!

 

Take a drive up north to Montana, North or South Dakota or Canada
You will get all sorts of comments on the S, most are "that ain't no Honda".

Oh, I tell them "Thank's, its my wifes car"(because it is).

"Thanks" or "Hey, thanks, bud"

And I dont know why that one guy is so cynical about people thinking the S2K is a super expensive car, very possible especially when they aren't common everywhere, and nobody knows what they are, usually. Especially with certain mods.

When I'm downtown, or at the riverfront in Cincy, people look. It's not Cali, but plenty of big dollar cars downtown everyday all day. People stare, you hear people asking each other what it is, you see people's head turn, follow you. Women love it.

A LOT of people admire and comment. I also do think there are specifics that make or break people's perception. I think a completely stock car on AP1 wheels, is probably not getting that reaction. My car, I thinks looks classy/catching with the SBC on Suzuka, and no amber with that front splitter. But to add to the "race/fast" perception it's also slammed pretty good, and is super loud (Header/Test pipe/Invidia N1).



For instance once I throw these wheels on the car, it's going look like a tuner toy, and the 'mystique' will leave:


I have a Evo X, and only fanboys pay that any attention, and thats more expensive than than an S2K. I think that speaks for the S.

 

I've owned my S2KI for a whopping 9 days, and have received a number compliments. I offer the obligatory "Thank You!" and then change the subject to their ride or their experience with the S2000 or whatever cool car they have owned. Thus far, I've heard some interesting stories.

On another note, some of the other S2000 drivers that I encounter while driving will wave. As a motorcyclist, we brothers have a special "wave." Is there a special wave, or sign to flash at fellow S2000 drivers, or is it a simple "wave?"

 

Yeah, its this surprised, wide eyed look, and the wave is a kind of afterthought as the other guy is almost past. Its so rare to see another S out on the road. Seems you're never prepared when you see one.

Looks wise my car is completely stock with apq wheels and i get a lot of compliments while driving. I get compliments on the sound as well. Boosted with an open downpipe. Lol they sound amazing when boosted.

 

I usually just say thanks. Sometimes though the person (usually a guy) will linger and start to ask me awkward questions, like how much did I pay for it, what kind of engine mods have I done, is it faster than X, etc. In those situations I try to politely deflect with vague answers.

 

Lol, Canada eh?
