had some fat chick that said "why would anyone ever buy a car that tiny" - all I thought to myself was maybe lose some weight and then you'd understand why?

otherwise I don't really hear anything negative. Actually, my girlfriend gives me a lecture whenever she's in the car... doesn't understand the concept of the s2000 making me drive a bit quicker than I might normally in another car

"hey what kind of car is an S?"
"Its a S2000"
"Wow, who makes it?"
"Honda"
"Is it like a civic or something?"
"No"

No negative comments towards the car yet. My girl loves it too. What girl doesnt like the wind blowing in her hair? Haha

All the girls say it's cute. I'm like "No, it's a beast!!"

some guy I know (not a friend) passed by in his early 90s Civic coupe

him: wow you got a new car
me: yup
him: it's nice but my civic will kill it
me: yup

(his civic is stock with an exhaust)

I cannot lie though, I love the jealousy!

I've owned my other car, an 18-yr old BMW, since new and when told that I got a new car and it's a "Honda S2000", the typical response was:

"A Honda what? Why would you go from a BMW to a Honda?"

Most people who've seen it in person love it though. Only once did I get the "Is that a Miata?" from a woman from my parking garage.
