Don't get mad about it. Like I said -- it's got really nothing to do with Asians. "Some of my best friends ... "

But I'm hoping that there is a nice mix of people at the S2000 event. Maybe even some a-holes like me!

I'm really curious to see if the stereotype is true. Many cars appeal to a certain type of owner. Camaro drivers wear black t-shirts and have mullets. Corvette drivers have gold chains and pinky rings. You get the idea.

If the S2000 gatherings are basically mini SEMA shows - then I won't be attending any others. I'm not much into bling-bling, or skanky ho's, NOS, or 22" rims.

I guess I'm officially OLD -- music can be too loud & I look at the kids of today and just shake my head....weaping for the future of this country. And I now understand what my mother used to say about peoples' fashion sense, grooming, and manners ->

I do have a right to be bothered because I'm the one that has to look at you!!

Note: If you are a stuck up, rich, old, white, racist, idiot and you want a car that is only driven by other stuck up, rich, old, white, racist, idiots you'll need to something other than a $20,000 Honda. Sorry, I had to be the one to break the news to you, but someone needed to do it.

i really don't mind ricers most of the time. if they like the way their car looks, ok. they actually keep the aftermarket businesses going on. everything will be fine guys, calm down. im not a ricer or what not but i think some ppl take this car thing too far. it was made for your own enjoyment and pleasure not to be used for your extra boost of self esteem.

Oh yeahBTW, i love the miata. nice clean look. is that oem lips, sideskirts?....ncie hardtop and type c man. take care guy

I think there are plenty of middle aged white guys who bought the S2000 as a mid-life crisis car, though ... just to mention another stereotype.

For some people, any convertible has to be driven by a hairdresser or someone who's gay.

Yet these people don't believe the other 'stereotype' of calling all SUV drivers "soccer moms"

oh btw, i do agree tho, this price drop is pissing me off cuz everyone in my city has one now! this week, i have found out three other guys have a s2000! I DONT LIKE THIS! n if i decide to sell this car in a couple years, the price drop would be most likely huge.
I think you have a issue there my friend, if you wanted a car that hardly no one drives you should have got something more expensive or rare. 20k-33k car and car still in production, price will keep on falling. Not everyone is out to buy a s2k, we are limited to only a certain area.

2 seater, standard, convertable, other 2 seater cars, etc... Its the s2k owner that is setting the market price for the s2k. (why they going so cheap)

My father actually laughed and said "It'll be you and 119 25 years old Asians".

God, I hope he's wrong....
