Driving down from Big Bear lake in the mountains above LA on a Sunday afternoon. Other drivers saw me coming from behind and were amazingly accommodating in pulling over for me to pass. I was exhausted, yet exhilarated by the time I got home to HB.

I think my passenger, my 22 year old son home on leave from Iraq, soiled his pants.

My original "best experience" was years ago when a friend let me drive his S2000 for the first time. That was surpased this Saturday when I drove my S @ Infineon Raceway. I can't stop thinking about it man!

My best moment and also the scariest moment was spinning out at the exit of a 50mph+ corner before the front straight at Streets of Willow Springs International Raceway.

Simply tracking the AP1 and experiencing its insane corner-entry balance and oversteerish corner-exit tendencies is one helluva rush. The experience inspired me to improve as a driver and how to tune my car to fit my driving style.

I come from an '06 Civic Si and a '92 Mazda Miata. The S2000 is the best of both worlds and then some! Love this car and will keep it until the day I die! We s2k owners are the last of a dying breed of Honda sports car enthusiasts and must appreciate having had the opportunity to own these eventual classics!

1st - would be the funnest car to drive... love the performance!

2nd - everyone has to stare at the S2000... LADIES, KIDS, OLD PEOPLE, THE ENTIRE FAMILY it dont matter they just love it...

3rd - is when another HONDA driver looks at my car and i could read their lips say:


"DAMN"
"OH SH**"
"F**K"


i know how it feels because i used to be the one doing those things when i owned my EK hatch...

it feels good to know that the car that you picked is just that nice...

Yeah, definitely way too many to list.

Mine was flying out to Orland, FL on a whim after talking with the owner. Handed him the check and drove my mint condition AP1 back home to Texas. Did the same thing with my AP2 recently.

First Cruise, First Autocross, First Track Day. All in the S. Love it!
