With the changed picture, I voted cool.

The specs and design of the car are high end. Very high limitations. The problem is similar to that of BMWs and Audis..... The owners

The s2000 is one I think is sub-zero. Great performance for the dollar and cheap enough for most enthusiast. Many of the others I cannot afford. This one, I can afford. I just cannot fit in it comfortably. Same with the MX-5.

Anything Johnny Tran rides, got a $100 grand under the hood, a huge ninja star vinyl, and can beat Jesse's dad'd Jetta is super subzero for me.

Great car...too bad there are so many douchey owners who act they drive Ferrari's/NSX's/Lambo's when they have s2000's.

It might be because I've noticed that many of the original owners of these cars often trade up to "baller" cars well into the six digit range....

A phenomenal car from a bang for the buck perspective, arguably can give you one of the best drives of your life, still looks better than 90% of brand new cars gets an awesome vote of....

Uncool

I genuinely don't remember the last time I've seen a stock one, which meant all had massive fart cannons, running 15 degree of camber with 5mm of ground clearance with pink wheels. Owners have destroyed the image of this car despite it's genuine greatness
