I don't know about you, but I'm a douche.

 

"people I know rather me take the sedan because of too much noise or we couldn't talk with the top down and they had to put in too much effort"

My experience as well. A friend has a 3.0is Z4. He is impressed with his built in bluetooth. When riding in my S2K, he asked if I could select between sport suspension setting or normal. When I hit VTEC and shifted at 8K while entering the freeway, he freaked and said that he never rev'd his bimmer that high. His bimmer is a garage queen and he drives it like a sedan. Although he had to have a stick, he likes his Z4 for its luxury. He is not an S2K person even though he drives a "sports" car occasionally.

 

That's exactly the point - you dont want to talk when in the S2000...

 

<<<<<<<<<<< this kind

 

Lol, the responses in this thread are...Interesting. I figure it takes two different people to own an S2000. The ones who mod them and the ones who leave them stock.

The ones who mod them try to get the car to perform to their driving style while the ones leave them stock try to change their driving style to benefit the way the car was engineered. This excludes those who just want to dump and throw on some nice baller wheels on it.

Of course, you can say that about any car I find it interesting when we look into that assumption with a properly engineered car from the factory.

 

Only the smartest, most attractive people drive s2000's.

Seriously though. A lot of us enjoy driving far more than the usual driver. An S is a scalpel, and my wife's civic is a baseball bat.

 

For good reason. The last time I let the dealer touch my car, it came back with a gouged front bumper (they fixed it after I complained).

 

Many of the car's so called shortcomings filter out a lot of the "gold chain" or "punk ass panty waist" crowd ("what, no auto tran's... 8 speaker audio... dual zone a/c... etc. etc.).

The S may be a little crude and rude but so am I.

 

Reading through this thread, I see good reason for calling us 'special'. We chose a car that's pretty deficient in creature comforts or manners. it's not even all that fast, but it'll carve up a road - scalpel, indeed! We don't care that it's rough and noisy. In fact, we like that about the car. We just shrug it off as the price we gleefully pay for a car that's more an extension of our bodies than the common conveyances in which most people plant themselves. The destination is antithetical to the point of driving this car - we lust for the time spent getting to the next one!

 

Ha Ha. When I want to be rude and crude I take the Pantera. OEM ANSA exhaust is not exactly quiet. No need of a radio when you have the "Cleveland Symphony" playing behind your seats.
