On that subject... I saw my first Honda S2000 last week - silver-grey, 
northbound on the
280 freeway in the Cupertino/Mt. View area. Beautiful sunny afternoon, warm 
(but not hot)
– and the guy had the top up so the wind noise wouldn't interfere with his 
conversation on
his teensy-tiny StarTac cellular phone! What a waste...

P.S. - The S2000 has impressive technical credentials, but I don't think they 
look like
much. Too 'Accord-ish', and for the money it would take to get your hands on 
one, I would
want something that has a stronger individual presence.
