Default too many s2k's in northern CA!!!

i've spent probably a total of an hour and a half driving today, and throughout that time period, i've encountered a total of SIX s2k's on the road, and at one point 2 of these were within 50 feet of me while on the freeway. in fact, i don't think i ever go through a day without running into at least 3 or 4, and half of these appear to be brand new 2003's. i don't want to moan and bitch, but all these s2k's on the road makes my s2k feel less "unique" and "special". i'm sure aside from the fact that the S is an amazing vehicle, a bunch of us also chose the s2k because it is "rare," but with all these s2k's on the road today (at least in CA) i don't think the car can even be considered "rare" anymore. i know honda wants to make money, and i'm glad others have a chance to experience owning and driving this amazing vehicle, but as selfish and illogical as this may sound, i wish honda would scale down on their production of the s2k. it's nice to run into other s2k's on the road every so often, but not once every 20 minutes!! anyone else feel the same way??

Move to Columbus, I see one a week... mine.

A few weeks ago I did see two others in one day but it was beautiful outside.

You gotta get out of CA if you don't like seeing Ss that much. I see maybe 1 every other week here.

I live 1.5 hours from you in the Sacramento area. I see approximately 1 per week. If you don't want to see so many, you should move to the area.

It's probably a matter of coincidence and the warm weather.

The only way you are going to see more S2000's is if Honda produces more of them.

As it is, they only manufacture a few thousand in any given year. Which means California is only going to get a few hundred, and after you deduct those involved in serious crashes, they are still very rare.

Ah, what I always thought. Bay Area people are smarter, I like Southern Cal but I sure miss Berkely & Blondie's along with everthing else the most beautiful region in the US offers. Actually, as large as the LA area is I don't see all that many.
