How about a "loyal Honda fan" badge or something similar for those of us who like Hondas, and like to keep them (mostly) stock? I'm not into the ricey image a lambo-doored CRX or a purple Supra represents.

I see myself keeping this car for a very long time. I bought it because i didn't need practicality. I always wanted a roadster, considering i was looking at 124's and spitfires before my job allowed me to spend higher I am british and feel that it is somehow alright to have the top down, even in the winter, as long as i have a warm jacket, leather gloves, a driving cap and goggles

I have changed the cars original design by putting a relatively large turbo (with some lag) but still want to get some track time in. I always hit the twisties behind my house, so i am good at 7/10ths!

The progression i see for the car, and my relative car purchases, is to keep making the s2k faster and handle better. By getting more track time, getting a built motor for reliability, some suspension and tire upgrades and maybe a hard top. Other car purchases would be to just replace the s2k as my DD. Maybe get a S4 as daily, or if i dont have the dough, something reliable like a accord or camry. I am not for showing off, at least not on the outside. Considering my car currently makes over 400whp and looks stock on the outside!

Hmm I had a strange evolution of cars

Cadillac Catera> Audi A6> Pontiac Bonneville> Sentra SpecV> Mazdaspeed Protege> Rx7 Turbo II> Subaru Legacy GT> NB Miata>01 S2K> 07 Pontiac Solstice GXP > 05 S2k

I think I'm 40% roadster enthusiast
20% lightweight handling
20% sport luxury
and 10% JDM tuner lol


*edit* i got the S2k because I do not have a family and don't really need any 'practicality'. Its is less spacious than the miata, but more fun on the street IMO.
Top 3 out of what I've owned would be (cant pick one I love them all equally):
05 S2000
87 RX7
01 S2000

So the GXP only made it < 1 year.

What was the reasoning to ditch it for an S2000?

For you, I'll add this badge too.

But I think for the other 71% of us, the visual impact of both badges is the same...

I picked a CRX because for a lot of this segment, a heavily used S2000 is the most expensive "Tuner" car that they've owned. I'd consider a Supra a lateral move to a new-ish S2000 in some ways.
