So you know I have to ask, why that was such a big surprise?

Here are two that are a little more recent. Sporting my current hair color of choice and hiding behind my Foster Grants...

I was just being funny. Some of the first posts I read of yours didn't give your sex away, and I was just surprised. Nothing negative intended, I am a liberated man. In fact my S isn't really mine, it's my +1s and is her daily driver.

:-) I didn't assume anything negative intended. I was just curious really. I wasn't offended or anything. I just wondered if maybe I come across real butch or something. ;-)


Thanks to everyone for participating!! I'm really enjoying reading the responses!

I just remembered another thing...all the peeps who forgot to take off those wheel blocks (what were they called?) for years! They couldn't figure out why the car had such a stiff ride.

Spring spacers!

It was the dealers who forgot to take them out!

Learning about the S.... how little the dealers service techs new about the S!

1- Most memorable? First time I took the S2000 to its' limits at Sebring.
2- Most surprising? It's more like a guilty pleasure, but I love how when the HIDs are turned on-they awaken like a cat opening her eyes.
3- Most annoying? Nothing major, just minor quibbles like assorted rattles/soft top wear etc.

You're right on. 4.57's and an supercharger make for a lot of fun. How long has it been since you actually felt vtec?

Yeah, I never give it away. I always exact a hefty price for that. Just ask my ex-husband.
