I'm not a snob. Hell, I don't even bother to remember the specs on my own car, let alone compare it. =P I just get snobby when someone puts down the S for an asinine reason. Most people I've met though are pleasantly surprised Honda makes such a nifty car. Even my American muscle friends love the "torqueless wonder."

A car doesn't make someone a snob. I told to owners of all the brands, and I've met snobs that drive civics up to the exotics. I've also met people that were simply car enthusiasts and respect cars based on what they are capable of, not what label is on their nose.

Bleh, it is an s2k, not a f430 or a spyker. If a car makes you into a snob, you don't have much going for you anyway. Snobs are weak foo.
So you would be a snob if you owned an F430?

The F430 would be treated exactly the same if I owned it, although I've never seen them do so well at autocross, and I like to stick to lighter cars for track use, so I'd likely never buy a F430.. but.. if I did it would still be just a car.

Can someone who owns a print of an accomplished artist be a snob? Not with any credibility or without the translucence of a poseur, that only the poseur himself will fail to see.

Can someone that owns a Rembrandt be snob?

In a word...Yes.

It's a Honda. Any questions?
