Our cars bring a lot of admiration and sometimes confusion from strangers since some people don't know what kind of car it is. What have strangers told you about your car when they have approached you?

"Whoa, I wish I could afford a sportscar."

I paid $15k for my S2000. For what you paid for your Super Duty F-350 with leather interior you could have four of these.

"I didn't know Honda made a sports car."

And that, my friends, was the whole problem

The typical
"What is that?"
"That is a honda???"

But then I had the one that took the cake ... but it was a young guy, so I gave him a break ... :P
Him (probably 18, worked at Northern Tool): " Man that is nice! I have been looking for one of those!"
Me: If you look around, you can find them for a decent deal from time to time.
Him: "I have tried, but every one I find is an automatic"
Me: "They did not make an automatic. They are all 6 speeds"
Him: "No, all the ones I find they say are auto's, I even looked at some. I like that yours does not have that hoop behind the seats too"
Me: "The cars you are talking about are Del Sols"
Him: "Isnt that what that is?"
Me: "No, this is an S2000. It is rear wheel drive"
Him: "Whoah.. Honda made that??"

I get a lot of thumbs up and rubber necking. Others in enthusiast cars always take notice. Even those in more expensive exotics seem to appreciate the rarity of the car.
