JDM boom in a nutshell, the only mass-manufactured cars that see such a massive value increase with age outside of limited runs on luxury cars!
Modifying these older JDM models to comply with modern standards and manufacturing them again would be a gold mine, I don't know why such re-introductions haven't been attempted on a big scale
Didn't Toyota already cancel the new Supra? There's just no demand for sports cars these days. And Mazda has what demand does exist pretty much locked down.
People have less disposable income. Cars like the supra or gr86 are too expensive for most people and not exclusive enough for rich people. Lets not forget, in the 90s not many people drove rx7, skyline, supras or even s2000 either. They were never highrunners

They would if people could afford it. People dont have as much money anymore unfortunately
This is 100% part of the stupid ācheaterā trend. Take notice to how it is only on the clearcoat, not soft top or glass. People have been doing this for nearly 20yrs, especially on exotics.
The way I instantly screenshotted his comment to send to a subreddit and to my friendsā groupchat lmfao, I havenāt responded to him yet because itās just funny
No that pretty much sums it up, you can have your opinion of women, you can have your assumptions, but yeah dehumanizing women by calling them āfemalesā is something Iām gonna point out lol
True, and I find it silly when people act like any use of the word female is derogatory. But the way this guy uses it certainly strikes me like an incel
And no spray on the canvas top? If i wanted to hurt someone that's the first thing I would do, because it's very expensive to fix. Looks staged to me, possibly this kind of white pen they use for temporarily painting on numbers at the drag races.
Picture seems too shitty to be staged. But could be erasable pen marker. All the shame at the frathouse parking lot, none of the monetary damages to be sought.
picture itself is not staged, I was at a burger joint when this car passed me by so I don't know them personally. The writing itself could have been staged though, I do agree with other comments that not tagging the fabric was sus.
I lent my ex girlfriend my car whilst I rebuilt the engine on hers. I got my car back with (my name) **** is a bastard scratched straight through to the steel.
Her apologies didn't make me happy
It was done on purpose by the owner. For somebody to do this maliciously, theyād be sure to tag the top, the wheels, and all the lights/indicators. The person responsible conveniently missed all of those.
When I see this I know the person with the car is better off without the person who would do this, but they are also the type of person that invites that kind of person into their life and are probably similar, and both are better off without each other. Or deserve each other? I dunno.
I'd never give someone who cheated on me the satisfaction of knowing it bothered me that much, I'd just move on like they were a bump in the road of life.
These S2000s are pretty expensive for their age
Yup. Reliability of a Honda with the ease of RWD!
And good looks and reasonable power

The new supra is a bmw

They were ridiculously cheap too, accounting for inflation most of them were under $40k. Nowadays you can get an entry-level Corolla with that.
And sudden snap oversteer.
Exactly what I was thinkn
Worth it though
Crazy how much these are going for just a Honda
Was this taken in Pinellas Park FL? I swear I saw this car while on a bike ride the other dayā¦
Clearwater! close enough of a guess tho lmao
I rode past where it was parked Thursday morning, itās 1 mile from my house. We actually turned around and did a drive by to look again š
The Scientology clearwater?
Yup the same one
I still think this guy did it himself or itās a rap. Itās too specific that whoever did this avoided all lights and glass.
100% this was a creative decision rather than vandalism.

Never heard of that before, Jesus is that stupid.
No paint or slashes on the $2000 soft top either. Ask me how I know they are $2k! S2K owner.
Why?? It'll just make them look like a dickhead to people who see their car and think they're a cheater
Sounds exactly like a person that finds it cool in the first place xD
Doing that to a nice S2000 is a serious crime.
Simple solution to avoid this: donāt cheat on your significant other!
Or don't date a crazy person
or don't push reasonable people to do unreasonable things..
Thats kinda victim blaming
Fun fact: it's still wrong to vandalize someone's car even if you're mad at them for a good reason.Ā
I agree 100% the comment sounded like: its ok if you cheat on your wife as long as she aint crazy
No they are implying a crazy will deface a car whether you cheat or not.
...A Carrie Underwood song comes to mine

You alright bro?
āFemalesā Seriously? You canāt say women?
Mālady
To be fair cheating is total ass.
But the idea that a wrong makes a right is wild.
Instead of vandalizing and potentially getting yourself roped up in legal problems because of property damage, just learn to walk away

You didn't hurt anyone's feelings, but yours definitely seem to be hurt.
The way I instantly screenshotted his comment to send to a subreddit and to my friendsā groupchat lmfao, I havenāt responded to him yet because itās just funny
Yeah, I also find it strange (and a little funny) that he's so angry about something that doesn't affect him at all
I understand, it's an S2000, but it's not like it was set on fire or anything. It's still very salvageable if that's why he's so angry.

Youāre welcome! :)
Just say you dislike women and we can be done here
In the real world the use of the word āmaleā and āfemaleā isnāt an issue
Username checks out

Wow you are a caricature. Dead on assume you have at least 3 empty chip bags, empty bottles around you.
Ad hominemĀ
The S2000 didn't deserve to get caught between the crossfire. Also, sexist much?
Ad hominemĀ
Who hurt you? :c
āFemalesā apparently
"females" you wear a fedora, don't you?
Ad hominemĀ

Did a little investigating: I think you are right. Not the first time this car was on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/S2000/s/LUmvkgakVJ

Top was probably down when it got sprayed
Yeah, youāre right. Could be a wrap or something.
Shit, on that car?! Oooooof.
Iāve seen this exact car posted before. Itās definitely a wrap or intentional.

Cook pass babtridgeĀ
Not on a S2000ā¦. š¤¦āāļø
PASS, COOK BABTRIDGE
Too soon junior
Single?
āThis fool is running a Honda 2000ā
Not really that expensive, my friend did this to his own infinity, insurance paid for the damages, he got the new paint job that he wanted.
WD-40 will easily remove spray paint from a car as long as you donāt leave the paint on there very long.
It would cost only the $4 that you spent on the WD-40 to remedy this. Then a quick wash and youāre good to go.
Oooooo she was in love lmao
"I failed my grade 10"
bro did it to his own car so people would think he's a sex haver
It kinda looks good ngl
That fool's driving a Honda 2000
The first time I ever saw the word SCROTUM it was painted in bright green on the side of a car.
I lent my ex girlfriend my car whilst I rebuilt the engine on hers. I got my car back with (my name) **** is a bastard scratched straight through to the steel. Her apologies didn't make me happy
Fuk You Dad!
Cool car...
I would bet money that theyāre going to get new paint/ a new wrap soon and did this for fun in the meantime.
She only got my driver's door Almost as though after physical violence the Pussy xp output skyrockets redlining. Most people call it grudge fucking
Almost guaranteed that this is a wrap because they think its cool or funny

The Miami Heat plate on that car matches well
If your SO cheats on you donāt do this, itāll cost you potentially 10s of thousands of dollars if they can prove it was you

Whoa whoa whoa. Letās not jump to conclusions here. This dude could be a counter strike player Ns someone tracked him down.
She mad
This is reddit... You can say fuck.
Good for whoever did that!
"Ah, yes, vandalism good"
It's never the cars fault. Be mad at whomever you want, but leave the car out of it.
The car doesnāt have feelings bruh. š
