People sucks and that pretty much sums it up.
They don't like what they don't understand, can't have, don't want, etc.
Also, other people are fanatical about their cars as well. They don't want to admit that maybe your car is faster, newer, better looking, or whatever.

 

I live in northern va and have had some mixed feelings as well. I have had my 07 for a couple weeks now and I love it. Some people ask about it and some people say nice miata. Oh well. I am really sorry about people egging your car as that is very immature and just not nice. I could never do something like that. Just yesterday I was driving home from the gym with the top down radio not to loud, going the speed limit and this red z06 is riding my ass and revving his engine. I am thinking oh boy here we go some derelict. So we get up to the light and him and his friend are laughing and revving the engine. I glance over and just mind my own business. Now I am pretty decent size in great shape and am like I want to just smack this guy around (in my head but I would never do that). So the light turns green and he dumps the clutch practically goes off the road going sideways and comes up to another red light. Than he does it again. So two thoughts pop into my head. the first is he cant drive and the second is karma. I think he was also jealous they don't offer the z06 in laguna blue pearl.

 

Yeah its such a nice blue. I was close to buying choosing it!

PS - something about drivers in locally made product having to prove points.....

 

I think it depends where you live. No hate from my area.

 

It is very polarizing. People love it or hate it. Most love it out of envy. Others hate it out of jealously. It's basically like flipping a coin.

I agree with the person that said people suck. Someone put their cigarette out on my soft top about a month after I bought my car. I've had to look at a round burn mark for the last 4 years.

 

because they hate to admit that they are in love with a Honda,

and wouldnt spend that kind of money on a fun, personal machine when they couldve purchased a Z4 to impress girls

 

once a ferrari 430 & lotus elise owner approached me at 7-eleven and told me he has "high pride and affection" for our S2000, among the few vehicles he considered to be "revolutionary and high engineered"

never a day did I not have a smile driving in my s2000

 

I get compliments all around, only the 350z's get bitter when they see an s2000, though im not sure why.

As for the vandilization, I do not think people over 22+ would egg/key/ding someone else's car. It's just too immature and probably done by teenagers. Maybe they should make it so that you have to be 18 or older to purchase eggs =]

 

[quote name='EOE' date='Mar 24 2007, 03:21 AM']Why do people have sucha hard feelings and such diffferent feeliings about this car? I was just looking @ different threads and some one tossed ice cream all over the owners 02 S2K..

WHY!?

Why S2000s why people on the other boards or web sites that host videos people will praise the car as god and others hate on it as much as possible. Others call it a miata and others say it will keep up with some ferraris.

Now this could be a stupid questing but I dont see hate as much against 350zs and other type of cars, what makes people hate on S2000 so much. I had people give me thumbs up and droool over mine and other flip me off for NO ****ING REASON.

I just simply dont understand what peoples deal is. Why key, why scrach, why toss ice cream, why vandalise. Why not say something to the owner him self and see what happens.

 

The S2000 is a niche market car. If you're not in the niche then it's not suppose to be your cup of tea. How that gets translated into hate eludes me.
