Obviously not, but what does that matter.

If you like the car, drive it. If you don't like it, don't. I used to get unending lines of BS from people who didn't like the fact that a straight 6'1" guy drove a VR Miata (mazdaspeed) and enjoyed it. What did I care? Nope.

If you base your personal value off of a car, you need to get out more and live life and quit worrying about it. Cars are cars are cars.

I think the s2000 looks more expensive than it actually is. Sometimes it makes me feel snoobish when other people give me stares.

I look like I'm still 18 though

I also have a few collections (not wine of course, since we don't drink), but I don't think that makes us snobs. If you start boasting about some rare wine you've acquired, and think that this makes you better than others, then you're a snob, but I have trouble believing you'd behave that way. I'm calling on your being a snob.

It's not the wine (or the cars or whatever) that makes me better than others. It's being better than others that makes me better than others. I generally don't feel the need to show it off, though.

i dont care about the car being a "Honda". if it was a lexus S2000, Bently S2000, or Ford S2000 i would love it all the same. I love the S2000. I would buy an S2000 it from any car manufacturer (giving it was litterally the exact same car). I guess we lucked out that Honda produced such a great car, with great performance, and great reliability.
