^ He's got a point. You have to be here at least 100 days to have an opinion. Thanks in advance.

 

easy guys

 

Honestly? You just asked me that?

The s2000 is not my first car, and its been around for 9 years now... Not to mention I've been on this planet for 24.

I may know a thing or two about cars.

My auomotive enthusiasm did not start the moment I signed up for this forum, which apparently is most holy of all car forums...

While show cars may not be my thing (hence my less then stellar opinion) I do know a thing or two about cars...

 

You are not in the minority. It's just that some people are fanatical about modifications while others just enjoy a car. Many just don't give a rats ass about modifications especaially ones that are extensive or expensive. To many folks, its like pissing away money. Now obviously this Tommy Ha fella has a lot of dinero in to the ride since it is his business showpiece and his business is to sell to people who modify cars. All well and good but if you like it, fine, if you don't, fine.

I think some of the sensitivity here revosves around the fact that Tommy is well known in the SoCal S2K community and well liked. I don't think the OP meant to attack him personally in any way. He was just an example.

 

definetly a matter of opinion.

although I shouldn't throw fuel to the fire I have to say - all the people I have met that have a problem with modding are also folks that couldn't afford to mod.

bitter souls.

 

for both tommy and his car; both are awesome. i agree that its a matter of opinion, but i really don't see a point in starting this thread just because you didn't like tommy's car.

 

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the interior shots that flashed by in that video are NOT of the interior of the S2000. The seats in the S2000 are black Recaro's with blue trim. The seats that flash by on the interior shots are solid red.

I guess the real interior wasn't flashy enough and the crew decided to substitute with another car that had a blue roll cage.

I would really like to know what the interior of the car looked like, but I guess getting a flashy, if fictional, story is more important than facts.

Still, the car looks fantastic.

 

No, as a moderator, you shouldn't fuel the fire but you are certainly entitled to your opinion just like everyone else. You work for free so you get a say just like everybody.

I'm not so sure if it's bitterness by people who can't afford it (although there probably is some of that) or an unwillingness of people to spend the money on performance or percieved performance increases that could far more effectively be gained by just buying a different car.

A stock S2K is an awfully compelling economic argument for appearance/performance/value although there are other cars that can more cost effectively be modified.

 

confirmed and agreed it is definetly a matter of opinion then - in conclusion: no one should start a thread to critisize those that don't want to mod

 

alright
