Default S - ness

Back when I was out test driving and searching for the car for me, I was looking at the 350Z, RX8, Boxster and of course, the S. I recall reading something in the Z literature that talked about "Z-ness" and went on and on describing just what Z-ness was.

I've been thinking a lot lately about S-ness. Since I've picked up my wonder machine last September, I've put 16,000 fun filled miles on her!!

So, do you think there's something out there called S-ness?? If so, how would you describe S-ness?

I think I'd say something like:

S-ness is that feeling when you look back at your car after getting out and smile a bit that she's yours!

S-ness is that feeling when you've had a sh**ty day at work, you get to the car, top down, 3 bars, VTEC baby and all of a sudden, your head doesn't hurt anymore and you've got a sh*t eating grin on your face.

S-ness is how the car just simply hugs you when you get behind the wheel.

S-ness is your first autocross class. (and the discovery that you really weren't pushing your S that hard on the road)

S-ness is blasting under an overpass in VTEC.

I could go on and on!!!

What can you add?

S is for Smile - For so many uncountable reasons, the smile is a one word answer to what you just experienced.

i have a bad habit of staring at my car as i walk away from it. people think i'm crazy but i'm just analyzing how the designers/engineers at honda could come up with such a sweet design.

What else can I say about S2000.

I just how it feels, Sounds, looks, drives and fits.
It pleases every sense of my body.

Not so overly done but beautifully executed design in elegance. Minimalistic, functional and 110% driver oriented interior design is also plus.

Let just say, I never read a book about the car that I owned before. With S2000, I did. I picked up the book written by Daniel Carney. Loved it. The car has so much character. They should seize the production right away! So it becomes rare and rare!
