was getting into the back of my friends g35 put the seat down and waited for it to automatically slide forward like the sc does and he tells me the seats are electronic ad i have to push a button to move it forward

Yes!! I think the fact that my car is red (and almost always clean) helps. I love seeing kids in Hondas, slammed pickups, etc. look at the car, give me thumbs up, etc. I've driven by much lower and slammed cars and still gotten nods of approval. It definitely feels good!

Hey hey hey, no need to automatically assume only kids drive hondas!
Even in my civic, I had a many people turn heads and gave me thumbs up. Even muscle cars, luxury cars, and truck drivers. Even lambo drivers that get smoked by me
Here's my last car I had, before my SC

I break some necks because of how low I am, how loud I am, or from rubbing. Mostly from rubbing though lol

I as well get lots of stares, compliments, and thumbs up all the time. Its a great feeling, I feel privileged to drive 1 of less than 500 SC400s made, 2000 model. Glad that when I roll through car meets Im not just another honda driver, nothing wrong with hondas but I just like being different.

I like how our cars are really low to the ground, even stock. I'm riding lower than most vehicles, coupes included, on the road. I can also take corners very nicely in this car.

I get plenty of looks when I ride around. Many people don't know what kind of car it is. People walk their dogs and stop to ask me things about the year, mileage and the engine (SC400 straight pipes) thats inside. Lol, its funny.

I do get a lot of looks as well. Although In my area, there are three black SC's, and all of them have black wheels. Mine gets mistaken for the other two all the time. Mine is the only one with stock drive train though. The other two are 2JZ swapped.

I'm also that driver that goes ape **** when I see another SC on the road, especially modded

I had an older lady look at me the other day and say:

"Is that your fancy looking car out there?"

Not really who I was looking for compliments from, but okay... Most of the 20+ drivers who know what it is give me a nod of respect. Every so often someone comes up and tries to buy it (always gives me a grin).

Honestly, I live in an area which abounds with Lexuses, BMWs, Audis, Porsches, Mazeratis, etc... Sometimes it 's like an overload on car ****... It's just cool to drive something that has reached unique status...
