My wife and I recently went down to Virginia Beach to meet with other S2K owners from the area. My wife wanted to do a little shopping, so I took her to Marshals. After she had been in the store for a few minutes, one lady walked up behind her and said, "Are you the one who got out of that Ferrari outside?"

Anyone else have something like this happen? And if so, what was your reply?

 

Too many wonderfully positive comments/compliments received at stoplights, grocery stores, gas pumps, etc I've had a lot of people ask how much horsepower it has, some people asking if it has a V6 or V8, whether it is a Honda or a BMW, etc. Last night at the gas pump, had a guy ask what the little red button on dash was!

 

Nobody has ever confused mine witha Ferrari.
But they have confused it with:
Miata
Accord convertible??
Prelude

 

An older lady said "your car is cute as a bug" Does that count?

 

Some of my friends say that I bought a convertable civic with a prelude engine.

Haha...

 

When my friend bought his silver/red, I thought to myself why'd he buy a 30k del Sol. 3 months later I got to see it and went for a cruise. After a while he let me drive and I got to vtec and I was done. After talking about the car non-stop all weekend long, I went to a dealer on monday, they had the vin for the color I wanted and the next day put my deposit down. I did call him and ask if it was cool with him I got one too. It was...

 

Someone asked me at a light if that was the Honda that could do 200 if it wasn't electronically limited.

Never had that happen but I've been absolutely floored by the amount of comments and compliments the car receives. Drive through a crowded street sometime and count how many times you overhear the word Honda.

I had a sweet young thing come up to me and ask, "Sir, is that the new del Sol?"

 

I hate replying "it's a Honda," when they gawk over it...oh well, the car still kicks azz.
