Yup, Helios! That's the place. I went by at around 5:10 or so. And, "fun" is not the word for it! I don't think there is a word for it in ANY language!!

I got a really good one this weekend by a lil kid. I was at a local mall and leaving from the parking Garage a lil kid was with his mom sorta getting to their car.. the kid sees my car and sorta leans down to look at the car and he starts pointing at the car.. and saying something (Windows up) my sis added "He must be saying Wow mom look at that Matchbox car" we started to laugh and we looked at the mom and she just started to laugh and smile as she was attempting to pick up her son from the floor. The kid was about 4 yrs old. Too cute! Huge Grin on my face It's also fun to park the car somewhere public and just stand back to see how the car gets looks.. it's GREAT! I love it.

OH and let's just say I need to twist my Bf's arm to have to drive it

 

Sh it, I allways thought they were looking at me, so it is the car they are looking at

 

I was dropping off a friend at Universal in the bus stop area and a tour bus was unloading a bunch of kids, one of the kids pointed at the car then five others looked and all gave the whoa! expression.
This car gets an amazing amount of attention, I get revved at all the time. My windshield was recently cracked by a rock thrown up off the road. It's getting fixed tomorrow, they were originally going to come out to my job and fix it. I get a call a few minutes later, the manager wanted me to bring in the car after he heard what kind of car it was, he said he wanted it done at the shop to make sure it was done right, due to it being a Honda S2000. I'm still amazed at that one. It feels like I'm driving an exotic car around sometimes, still getting used to it.

This kind of thing happens all of the time.

What is amazing is that my S has been and inspiration to many of my neighbors. A few of them were going to buy new cars, typically conservative 4 door sedans, vans and suvs. After I brought home my S some of them started looking at convertibles. A few of them went for sporty coupes.

One neighbor told me that she "wasn't quite ready for a real sports car, but after seeing my S she had to have a convertible." She ended up with the Saab 9-3. Not a bad car!

I just think it's amazing that the S could do that.

 

Man, I know the feeling that those cross country people were feeling, I went to Future Shop to pick up some blank CDs, and there it was, a Red S2k parked near the lot, it wa a thing of the beauty, the minute I spotted it, I just shawn my headlights no it tryign to capture it from every angle, it was really eciting since I have only seen 3 s2k's ever on the streets/parking lots, they are rare pickings over here, which is a good thing (btw, its gotta be the spa yellow that attracted all the attention, I can spot that form a 100 miles down the road

 

I was at my usual Marathon gas station filling up when this group of BMW Z3 roadsters drove in to fuel up. The BMW Store of Cincinnati is only a block away from this gas station, so I always see lots of BMW's there. Anyway, one of the guys asks me what kind of BMW I had since he said he's never seen a BMW S2000 before! So, I lectured him that this was what we call in America, a Honda and how it's a motorcycle with 4 wheels. I also showed him the cockpit and showed how our cars have a 9000rpm redline and makes an astonishing 240hp from 2.0 litres of displacement. Then, his wife started telling me how cute my blue S2000 was, but when I invited her to have a seat, she just stared at my seat and asked me, how in the world do you get in and out of that seat? I also let one of my coworkers have a seat, and he couldn't figure out how to get back out of the car once he got in! These people are thin, and yet i'm overweight and I still manage to easily get in and out! LOL

 

There are 3 S2000's in town a Red/Black '00 a Silverstone/Black '01 and my Sebring Silver/Black '02. The '01 Silverstone belongs to the next door neighbor of the Red '00 owner because she liked the Red '00 so much.
Their across the street neighbor was looking at the '02 but she looked too long and I found out there was one at the dealership and went down and bought it.

 

You know what.... after seeing 2 more yesterday. I have seen More 350z's these past couple weeks than I have S2000's on the road (aside from meets) since i've had my car!! (5 months) Shows just how rare these cars still are I my carrito.
