Honda took a fair amount of grief from many back in the day for their "conservative" approach with the design of the S2000, but the last laugh is definitely theirs as it turns out. The design of this car is about as timeless as it gets when it comes to modern vehicles. The slow-mo footage of the car rolling down the road demonstrates this very nicely. A low-slung hood line like the one found on this car is now a thing of the past given today's safety regulations. To me these cars look their cleanest and most sleek when they are free of all of the additional body cladding, but to each their own. Congratulations on the great find! I'm looking forward to watching every video that you create featuring this car.

It’s just like when people criticize the look of a 911 never changing. Why should it? It was right the first time.
@VirtualGuth3 жыл бұрын
@@moustachio334 That's an interesting observation. While I agree with you in terms of the basic shape of the car, in my opinion the design has changed significantly since the 911's introduction. The earliest cars from the 60's look the best to me by far. After about a decade the design became what so many think of when they think Porsche 911. I feel that they really screwed it up in '99 or whenever it was that they lost the rounded headlight covers. While the basic overall shape is similar, today's car looks very different than those early cars from the 60's. That said, the front end does look better today than it did 20 years ago. Regardless of what I think, I'm sure that every iteration of the 911 has its fans and overall the car is truly an icon. In a nutshell, Porsche has made quite a few changes over the years and that is to be expected over such a long period of time, but they do know better than to screw with the design too much.

I bought my S2000 new in 2002, Sebring Silver, and it still sits in my garage today. Mine is a California car and just turned over to 8,000 miles. I have too many toys and didn’t find much time to drive it and therefore the reason for only 8,000 miles. Mine has always been garaged, never driven in the rain, no rock chips, door dings, etc. The closest you can get to a new one as it looks as good as the day I brought it home. Now that values are rising I’m afraid to drive it. I take it for a spin once a month to keep it running properly and will eventually probably sell it. I need to figure out what it’s worth. I’m going to want a good price for it because as I said it’s about as close as new condition as you are going to find since I babied it for its 8,000 miles. Whenever I would drive it I would never park and leave it unattended as I was afraid of getting door dings, someone backing into it, etc. so I would take it out on back country roads and just enjoy a nice Sunday drive. I know I will miss it but I have been basically storing it in my garage time capsule for twenty years and will enjoy having a garage again for new toys.....

I took your advice last winter and went through the car and put Royal Purple in everything... no regrets... the part I'm wondering about is what is more beautiful... the S2000 ?... Esther ? or Esther driving the S2000 ? ... I'm sure it's both! Thanks for the video... I'll be watching for pointers on the S ... I'll be taking my S into my carpenter shop converted to my auto shop for the New England winter quickly approaching...
