S-freak

I had two, but I sold my '06 - big mistake. My '08 CR (#349 of 688) may still be a convertible, but it's a take the top off and leave it at home convertible. I should have kept my standard S2000, although this gives me the opportunity to find a low mileage '03. That was a good year - the last for the AP1 which had a somewhat different character from the AP2 (even more manic).

Honda's Japanese website has some videos of the production plant in Suzuka (see link below - no need to install the language pack (just hit cancel and continue)). Those cars not only don't share components with the rest of Honda's fleet, but they weren't built like the rest of Honda's fleet either. It's simply amazing that they produced that car for 10 years.

I've driven a Miata (Mazdaspeed), as well as a Z4, 370Z and a Boxter - I'll take the S2000 over any of them. It's just the most visceral, raw and pure sports car of the bunch. I even drove a Solstice before Pontiac met its demise - eh, it looks nice. I was looking for my midlife crisis car and found automotive true love in the S.

The thing about the S2K forum and Honda is that there is a tremendous amount of mutual respect. Shigeru Uehara has even attended S2000 meets and been honored by the S2K community. We're a rabid bunch, and many mod the hell out of their S2000s, but everyone (even the most mod-happy) praises the manufacturer for building the perfect sports car.
