Default S2000 catches a lot of attention

I've been getting compliments on my car day by day from a lot of people. Whenever I drive around, I have my passenger tell me that every car that pass by and the people around always check out the car, heheh, I know the car's nice, but damn thats a lot of attention. Anybody get the simular experience?? Because of that I'm kind of getting worried, if it's too high profile, to theft and such... I have a silver car too, I can just imagine you Yellow Stook owners must get oh wells, just thought to share the experience, it made me happy everytime I heard it

Same here! Almost everybody who passes by me has the "what the..." look in their face. Many of them still don't know what a S2000 is. Thats the best part. Compliments after compliments.

Its nice when your our riding around with your g/f, and other women yell out "nice car!". Always brings a remark from the g/f about what happens when she is not along!

I've only had my Spa Yellow for a few days now, but the attention it gets is sometimes amazingly good and sometimes horrible.

Where I live there are few S2K, let alone yellow...so the oohh's and ahhhs are many, so are the nice Ferrari and Porsche??? What they are thinking at the moment they open their mouths I dunno.

Last night I got some bad attention. And this has made me realize the parking in the out of the way place isn't always the best.

I had to go to a Wal-Mart and I figured I'd park by the Oil Change depot, they have plenty of parking and no carts...bad mistake. I come out of the store 25 mins later and I see some ass of a kid (I hope it was a kid) spit a large wad of crud onto the drivers side window. Luckily I just purchased a few window cleaning supplies.

Lesson learned is if people are around and starring at the car, punks are less likely to spit on it. Park in the noticable area but isolate yourself from cart danger.

Ok the reality is that our Girlfriends or "Wife ( in my case )" get way more attention if they are driving it!
It doesn't happen that often but once in a while l'll let her take the S out with her girlfriend and she'll come back with story after story about guys asking her how she likes "the car" and if they want to hang out. Guys DO NOT LET YOUR WIFE and/or GIRLFRIENDS DRIVE THE CAR! Oh, She spanked a couple of them at 9K thru third.

There is nothing like a women working my stick at 9K!

Oh well, some are negative attentive as well. I experienced a few of these myself last weekend. One was on the way to dinner, a damn Volkswagen Golf loaded with a crazy Andretti styled driver with his friends or something picking a race with me or something, with the usual tailgates, crazy overtakes and one point we came to a complete stop on the road and he attempted a reverse, I nearly got out and wanted to smash him before he took off laughing again.

Another was in the city almost close to midnight while I was once again just minding my own business. This bloody R33 Skyline GTS with another Schumacher styled driver rocks out of nowhere in the traffic jam in typical late Sydney scene and just stares hard at my car with his girlfriend and some other girls in the car I believe and nearly crashes into me when the road merge ends. Damn, there are idiots everywhere!

Takashi,
You must live in Cali. Because We don't see skylines here in Georgia. If I did I would smile and say good day! Is your car modified? I know another member "tim S2K" who has a modified S2k and he gets into trouble all the time.

My fiancee and I get a ton of attention in our silver/red despite the fact that there are a few stooks here in S. Cal.

For the most part, I think it's fun. We get a lot of stares, a lot of thumbs up and a lot of "nice cars" yelled to us. The down side is that every young guy in a souped up, stickered, lowered compact car wants to race. I never give in, believe it or not. I didn't buy this car to drag race. And I think racing on the street is stupid and more importantly dangerous and reckless. Just my opinion.

Funny story that I think I posted about before, but...

A few months back my fiancee and I were having lunch with my best friend and his wife. When we finished we decided to go to Metro Pointe and shop at the huge Crate and Barrel. On a side note, my fiancee and I are registering there and my buddies wife loves the joint so we spend way too much freaking time there. Anywhoo, from lunch my buddy wants to ride with me and has my fiancee ride along with his wife in their Mustang GT conv. Another side note, despite the marvelous engine in that 'stang, that thing is a flexing, creaking piece of crap.

The ladies are behind us as we get off the freeway. We come to a stop on Bristol and a few very pretty young ladies crosses the street going into South Coast Plaza. As they cross in front of us they wave and smile and say something about us and our car. Both my buddy and I turn beat red and kind of lamely wave back. Ten years ago, I would have leapt from the car, but now we have our wives (or wife to be) in the car directly behind us with the rag top back and they see and hear the whole thing.

The story ends well. The women find the whole scenario very funny and give us a hard time about being sugar daddy wannabe's et al. Now my fiancee' has an excuse to rib me a bit whenever I go for a drive by myself.
