So I got this email from someone that works for the R&D Group for American Honda Motors in Torrence, CA last night...

-------------------------------------------------

Hi Tommy,

I work in the Advanced Product Planning Group at Honda Research & Development Americas, Inc. I have noticed your website and blog and find them both very interesting.

Myself and several associates will be conducting research in the Miami area in August. We would very much like to speak with enthusiast S2000 owners and hope that you will consider speaking with us about your S2000 ownership experience and automotive preferences in general.

If you have the inclination and time please contact me at your convenience

thanks,

John

I've been exchanging a couple of emails back and forth. He and his associates will be in Miami on July 30 to Aug 3. He wants to meet on either July 30 or Aug 2. He will get back to me with the exact date and details on Friday. Upon my request, he extended this invitation to other S2000 owners from Miami/South FL.

Anyone else interested?

Personally I'm shocked that someone from Honda looked at my personal crappy website (s2000.tommychang.net) and requested to meet. This is what I see to be an unique and rare opportunity. I don't know all the details of this yet or the scope of this. As soon as I find out I will post it.

BTW this email ended up in my spam folder in Outlook, luckily I checked it.

 

very cool.

 

I'm in, as long as the meetings won't interfere with my work schedule...



keep me posted

Mitch

 

I am there as well if OK

 

i'm in

 

does he know about this site? s2ki?

 

^ I'm sure he does, most from AHM do.

 

Thats very interesting... I'd love to give them some feedback.

 

I will talk to my cuzin he works at Honda of North America in the R&D out in Torrance CA, i'll see what he has to say about that.

 

Well if you do meet with these folks, be sure to tell them how bad Honda of NA customer service blows donkeys. They're pompous holier than thou 1st class a-holes...

Edit: Especially Ted Barber.... Screw you if you ever read this.
