Charlie...LOL!

 

Charlie - it will be quite humorous to see the guy at the dealership scratching his head bout the 20K convertible option.

I actually got pulled over by a Police Officer in Manhattan last week near the Holland Tunnel. He wanted to know how much I paid since he was looking into buying one. Scared the hell out of me I thought he caught me running a red a couple of blocks before.

 

Well my two storys. I was writing something down when a guy comes up from behind and says get out of the car. Sacred the living **** out of me. Turns out he was just a fan of the car. what an idiot!

I was pulling out of the convience store and this maybe 15 year old girl says can I have a ride. I replyed that I was very short on time( which I was) and then she said " I'll make it worth your while" She was cute and all but if I'm gonna go to jail its gonna be for speeding not tagging an under age girl. It still makes me laugh though.

 

I've had a couple too, three pre-teen african american kids jaws hit the ground when I pulled in to get gas one day, they just stared and asked what kind of car it was, oogled at the digital display and then lost their minds when I started it with a button. One of them had to run around the car and I let him "start" the car again after I shut it off. Thank goodness the place had pay at the pump so I could keep an eye on them.

When we were on the Midwest S2K Fall Colors tour in Door Co. WI four of us stopped at a lookout you can climb and all parked next to one another and climbed the tower, once up there we looked down and people on bikes had stopped to check them out, people in the tower were talking about them, and nearly everyone who came off the tower stopped to look. We attracted quite a crowd.

My favorite though is driving through our relatively small town and having all the import "ricers" in their hopped up Civic DX's with the aftermarket wheel covers, grapefruit shooter exhaust TIPS (not the whole exhaust, just the tip), MUGEN POWER stickers and clear lenses everywhere beeping, flashing thier lights and waving when we drive by like I'm some long lost family or something. It's kinda cute.

 

I get it every day since mine is not noticably an S2K.

But the two best are:

1- Sitting at a red light, in the left turn lane, a Yellow Ferrari 355 honks and waves, he then makes a U-turn catches up to me and then starts telling me that he wasn't aware that Ferrari allready cam out with the 360 Convertable. Go figure, if you own a Ferrari, you could tell the difference between a Ferrari and a Honda.

2- I take my girlfriend to one of Chicago's top restaurants, Nine, and the valet guy actually moved a Viper as so I can park it in fornt of the place.

One day I was cruising through naugatuck, CT and a school had just got out. Maybe 30 8 year olds yelling, "look its the bat mobile" I got some good chuckles as I redlined it past them.

"2- I take my girlfriend to one of Chicago's top restaurants, Nine, and the valet guy actually moved a Viper as so I can park it in fornt of the place."

I think he just probably wanted to drive the Viper again!

 

I promised my Porsche-dealer that I would let him test-drive the S2k when I told him that I decided to go for a 911 w/o turbo and the S2k.
He was very impressed and admitted that the S2k feels much more like a pure driving machine than "other roadsters" and actually asked if Honda had to advance the NSX's (the NSX isn't Acura here)engine to put it in the S2k. He also informed me that the oncoming Carrera-GT will be a purist's car too. Might be quite expensive though.

 

Sitting at a light, right hand lane. On my left, up pulls a distinguished looking businessman in a 740, starts asking questions. Asks if there's a Honda dealer nearby (there was), I pointed to my right, he says, "Hold on" as the light changed, cut in front of me, and although I never saw him again, I think a certain salesman at the T.O. Honda dealer owes me a cut!
