your guys think auto shows arethe only place cars get abused???? man tehy get abused everywhere... the day i got my s was at a dealer that had opened that exact day.. cars were still on trucks.. they invited everyoneeee to come.. commercials on tvs, banners in the sky and billboards. i went there it looks liek a rock concert so many people. i was ready to buy. but i dont think i would of have purchased mine if it was on the floor. they had a red one that this guy was sittin with his friends. i didnt know sounds like that could come out of a car.. i would look at the s2000 and all i saw was a sad face on it .. like if it was in pain.. and then this lil kid with ice cream decided to drop his cone on the passenger side. lucky 4 me. mine was still on the truck . only my hands has touched since it came off teh truck.. feel sorry for whoever purchased that red one. it was gone next day

When some of us got together a few months back, I took this pic at the Washington Auto Show. It was sad to see!

Try a boat show - my wife and I stared slack-jawed as idiotic, snot-nosed, snivelling, foul-mouth, whining, greasy-handed, black-sole shoed, BRATS would knock people out of the way to get into every boat.

Admission should be normal for adults, and prohibitively expensive for the little trailer-trash kids.

I also found it amazing that many of the adults were considering boats on how much they could afford financing at the minimum monthly payment. Can't pay cash, can't afford to play...

Needless t say the boat we bought was not a "boat show demo!"

I think the real tragedy was that the only display S2000 was blue on blue. The blue exterior and interior are FAR uglier and tackier than I had pictured in my mind. Absolutely awful.

Amazing...Nothing but nose pickers and tire kickers at the NY show. I actually saw one brain-dead dork kick the front bumber and remark to his friend: "See, it's all plastic"
