Funny Things People Have Said About Your S2000 - Part 2

1. Driving an S2000 Means You're a Big Roller

Welcome back as we get into another round of the ridiculous things that people have had the courage to actually utter out loud in regards to you guy's cars. In case you missed part 1 of the article here is the link. Without further ado, let's dive back into the limitless cringe fest. 

The S2000 is a good looking car - that much we already know. But it's also a relatively affordable ride, contrary to popular belief. One thing we've learned, however, is that an awful lot of folks only see dollar signs when we roll by in one.

S2000s might not be cheap, but they ain't Bugattis either. Even though gswetsky once had a lady tell him "I had to stop and see a multi-million dollar car, cause I have never seen one up close."

That's what happens when you drive a car so exclusive most people never get to drive one in real life. Or as a fast food employee remarked to slh7d, "I love your car, I play the S2000 on the Need for Speed video game, but I haven't seen one in person."

That kind of prestige leads to assumptions. Like when a guy outside a pizza place asked StwoKrocket "Are you a drug dealer?" When he said no (of course), the guy proceeded to ask him "Is your dad a lawyer or a doctor?"

2. Green with Envy

Driving an S2000 also means that others will cast envious glares upon you everywhere you go. And we get it. But these folks might be going just a little too far.

Like ticktock's friend's 13-year old daughter, who told him "Wow! Your car is really cool. Will you adopt me so I can have it when I turn 16?"

Or a stranger at a gas station who told gswetsky "That car is much too pretty for you!" Yikes.

Another stranger at another gas station remarked to Ruined 2 "Man, you're gonna make me sell my van!" Uh, well, you should do that anyway.

SwansS2K's co-worker once mistook him for Hugh Hefner in the parking lot, yelling "Should have known it was you in that playboy car!"

And a teenager at a gas station excitedly started taking pictures of ralper's ride with a disposable camera before telling him  "I hope you don't mind. We never see nice cars like this around here. This is pretty exciting."

3. Do You Know Anything About Cars?

Some of our favorite comments come from people who seemingly know nothing about the S2000. Or cars in general. Like the Mustang driving kid who asked cottoncb "That thing got a Hemi?" No kid, it most certainly does not.

Or the emissions station attendant that remarked to RobsS2K "You must be a big fan of The Fast and the Furious." I mean, who isn't?

The S2000s notorious lack of torque has been mocked relentlessly. But the best one we've heard in a while comes from some random gas station guy, who asked alexz if his car had any "towing capacity." His response, however, was perfect - "I have never looked into that."

As we all know, not all Hondas are the same. But a lady at a car wash once tried to bond with J.T by saying "I used to have a Honda Accord!" What an amazing coincidence!

But the cream of the crop comes to us from Johnny--2K. When a co-worker found out his car was a Honda, he remarked "Oh...i was thinking it was something British, real classy looking, like a BMW or Mercedes....." *Insert facepalm*

4. Well That Was Awkward

Sometimes, people just say things that leave you at a loss for words. Like the little kid that spotted S2K_Shawn's S2000 outside a restaurant and said "Mommy, can we steal that car?" Kids can be so cute...when they're acting like future criminals.

Then there was the time when some guy told Saud2k "Your car would look really cool with a Supra style wing!" Um, no it wouldn't?

Never doubt the power of that little four-banger, either. As base63bkyn's friend once said (after a spirited ride) "They should have these at all the major amusement parks." 

While attending a movie premier, Russ unknowingly wound up entering his S2000 in a car show when an organizer remarked: "Well, I'm definitely putting you in the front row." Still not really knowing what was going on, he complied. A couple of hours later, he was informed that he had won second place in the show.

5. Talk About Amazing

The S2000 has some pretty well-known features and capabilities. But just like we learned in that grade school "word of mouth" game, those facts tend to get twisted as they get passed along. And sometimes, people just don't know what they're looking at.

Some guy once asked BBY2KS2K "Does your RPM gauge really go to 29,000 RPM?" Probably because his license plate reads "REVS29G," but still. C'mon man.

Don't discount the "Italian" looks of your little Honda roadster, either. At a local meet with around 50 S2000s, AgS2K heard a guy yell out "I've never seen so many Ferrari's in all my life!"

And while carbon fiber might look like carbon fiber to you and me, hygiene boy's friend once told him "It looks like fake snake skin!" Time to make some new friends.
