For full features; Go to Yay I have a company car
Went to work on Friday, and got a little surprise. They asked me to go pick
up a car at a shop, and said that it would be my company car (use it for
airport pickups, shopping runs, whatever). Went to the shop and found a
2002 Porsche Boxster S :)
Brought it back to the lot and took a pic, sorry its not clean yet

And you can drive it any time? What about insurance? Gas?
If you can drive it any time, that kicks ass.
chris_knows
Just for work errands, but they happen on a pretty frequent basis. If it
sells I will drive something else, we have 11 Porsche's in stock haha. If
not, I can have an s2000, z4s, mini coopers (s models as well), jags,
audis, the lot
newyorker
Thats pretty cool, if I was rich or not doing my career (ie younger), I
would get a job like that. Reminds me of when I was lotboy at an Aston
Martin/Bentley/LandRover/Jaguar dealership. Most days got to run at least
a few errands/customer pickups. Will never forget driving the Vanquish
twice, both times about 20 minutes.
Mathew
A buddy of mine does stuff like that for a ford dealership and he got in
trouble one day and had to go see the owner of the dealership. Well after
talking to the owner he was making small talk and asked him how the Ford GT
was doin and he said well shit I never drive it it just sits. Then the
owner goes hey Ive got a new job for you, once every two weeks you have to
take the GT out and get it a little excersize and make sure everything is
in working order.
I didnt believe him until he showed up at my work in the GT, its pretty
cool and the funny part is, the owner pays him 40 bucks on top of his wages
everytime he takes it out.
I would pay the owner to drive it, he wouldnt have to pay me haha.
Enthusiast
thats pretty sweet

With the departure of the Type-R and Boxster S, its time for a

S2000s are gay.
Honda needs to man up and realize such a small engine at that level is
ridiculous for the street.
WHY WHY WHY would you put a 2.0 then a 2.2 in your sports car. Its
ridiculous. There are no displacement restrictions for the
street.:banghead:
Enthusiast
Yea, 13.5 is a really gay time for a stock 2.0 man. The car is plenty
quick, and Honda is known specifically for high revving 4 cylinder VTEC
engines in their cars, its very fun, and the chassis is very responsive,
the steering is excelent, everything about that car is great, and when you
buy an s2000, you dont usually buy it for daily driving, so low end torque
makes near no difference. Oh and it has one of the best
transmissions/shifters in the industry to boot, Honda reliability, good
MPG...I couldnt ask for more.
newyorker
Interior's nice too, but is there a radio?
chris_knows
yessir
Its tucked away behind the panel in front of the shifter

If I have to pick up any "big" people from the airport or whatever, it may
be a problem though
newyorker
First off the S2000 gets horrid gasmileage. You know what from? They put
such a high strung tiny little motor in it.
Ive driven one and sorry but I dont find it fun at all and the shifter
feels like a shifter rowing a pile of dog shit.
They arent that reliable. They like to go lean and melt the top end Ive
seen it happen 3 times now. Its hard to make a damn near 9K piston motor
reliable. Sorry.
Enthusiast
My friend gets 25 highway with his, not bad for a sports car, and thats
with the top down.
If you didnt think it was fun then obviously you have a lot of experience
driving cars like the Lotus Elise and Ariel Atom..maybe you dont think
those are fun either.
Everyone I know has never had problems with theirs, maybe the people you
know just assumed that because its a Honda it doenst have to be
maintained...sucks for them.
newyorker
Does bashing anything without a Bowtie give you a boner or make you feel a
bit less queer or what? Big engines are heavy, would harm weight balance,
ect ect. We've been over this, not every one wants to go in a straight
line.
And that car is by no means slow. You tell us, since you're so
knowledgeable on the subject, why would Honda want to put a bigger engine
in the S2000? Or better yet, how would a bigger engine make the S2000 a
better car?
jedimario
And about "dog shit" shifters, the s2000 shifter has great feel its precise
and short...every domestic shifter I have ever felt has had a completely
detached and mushy feel...i dont know what kind of firm dog shit youve been
digging through but thats just me.
newyorker
Now don't take this as me backing Enthusiast, as he sounds pretty ignorant
right now. HOWEVER, I do have a bone to pick. First off, I'm sick of the
damn "not bad for a 2.X liter" crap. As has been said, there no size limit
on the street. Oh, but you don't want a big, gas guzzling, big liter V8?
You're buddies S2000 gets 25mpg highway. I get 27...in an automatic...with
a rear seat...with almost 3X as many liters...in a car near 2 tons.
Best transmissions? That might have something to do with pushing around a
light car with almost no torque. I know it wasn't made to handle a
musclecar, but on the other hand, I couldn't say that a ballerina is one of
the best wrestlers if she hasn't faced a bodybuilder.
The S2000 is a better handler, but lets not counter ignorance with more
ignorance. There are plenty of V8s pulling .9X g's.
The high-winding S2000 is probably more fun for NY'er, while a bigblock is
probably more fun for Enthusiast.
giant016
I know 3 guys with S2ks, all maintain their cars well, probably better than
the average driver. All three have had problems two have melted the whole
top end one of them has done it twice.
A high strung motor will sacrifice longevity,
And sorry I dont like the elise. A good friend of mine went from a boxster
to a elise (much like car hippie for those of you that remeber him) and as
he puts it. The elise is built like a race car, which is pretty much a
disposable car. He says build quality is in the shitter and most parts are
glue on and things are constantly falling off. Motor is a bitch to get any
performance out of it cause it has absolutely ZERO bottom end. It rides
like shit, gets shitty gas mileage, is expensive, and is about the most
uncomfortable and ergonomically unfriendly car he has ever been in.
Personally id buy a vette over an elise cause it is without a doubt a
better street car and will almost always win on the street, and probably
run pretty damn close to the elise, without worries of breaking it. (oh and
ps. the base C6 beat the EXIGE around the top gear track)
Enthusiast
Okay first I may have a little more critical view of things but that
applies to all cars.
I bash my Z plenty. It sucks to work on, its makes all kinds of noises, etc
etc etc
But above all it is extremely reliable and parts are cheap, overall its not
very complicated, and has huge potential.
Second bigger motors dont always weigh more.
And if you meant bigger in displacement, that also is not true.
The LS7 is displaces two eztra liters compared to the M5 V10 and it is
physically smaller giving it a higher power density, oh and its also
lighter.
And sorry the car is slow. But thats all relative, what I think is slow you
may not.
I think a higher displacement motor could easily make the S2K a better
car.
First it would give it more potential for power
Second they could achieve the same power with more displacement using a not
so high strung motor and increasing reliabilty
Or they could make it just as high strung and high revving and make more
power
Third the damn thing wouldnt have to be so freakin lazy in low rpms.
Fourth it could lead to better economy given a correction in gearing to
accomodate the bigger displacement.
Given all this tell me. Would you rather have a decently quick car that
handles great or a fast car that still handles great.
Enthusiast
Sorry I drive an F-body and have a built T56. Ive driven S2000s and hate
the feel.
I prefer the stiff mechanical feel of the T56 even on the stock shifter.
You need to read less car magazines and actually go drive different cars
and do away with your ignorant domestic bashing.
I may not like certain cars but atleast I can come up with a reason for it
that isnt reguritated from a magazine or from plain ignorance (like
domestics are reliable or their interiors suck)
And by lumping every domestic shifter into one category it makes you look
retarded. Their are going to be worlds of differences between an Aveo and a
GT.
Personally I hate the feel of the Sn95-2 mustang trannies. Clutch is OVERLY
stiff and not a big fan of shifter feel but it is by no means MUSHY and
DETACHED.
Enthusiast
so what engine would you put in it?
windsonian
Id say the whatever motor they could design with the highest power density
to fit within the givin engine bay dimensions, without much of a weight
penalty. It would also have to have more low end torque, Im not talking
overkill but none of this lazy ass motor when vtecs not engaged.
Enthusiast
Then cost becomes an issue. It's already quite expensive for a Honda.
A bigger engine alone would not make the car better, and if it somehow did
it would become too expensive.
For the bigger engine to weigh the same, it would have to be made out of a
lighter-wieght material. I don't know what the S2k engine is made out of,
but I do know that a lighter material that maintains the integrity of a
heavier material is usually more expensive. In the automotive world, at
least.
jedimario
The Z is a great car by all means but the shifter is very notchy for my
taste. I do drive a bunch of cars, I work at a dealership remember...ive
driven almost everything from a 5-speed aveo, to a 6-speed 911 turbo
newyorker
I have an 84 z camaro, when u say notchy, do you mean notchy like that (it
is kind of annoying?), it's the t5 world class. Is that really a term used
in the magazine world? (i don't read a lot of car magazines, but i always
wondered if other people didn't like the feel of those shifters as well).
I think my escort shifts better than that thing.
carls47807
Like it is very resistant and then bam it goes in...its kinda like
penetrating a tight vagine
newyorker
You censored the word cockpit but this is okay? lol...Also, only Borat
pronounces it that way.
chris_knows
Fine just for you
Shifting a 350Z is like ****ing a tight pussy, but its not something you
want to do in a sports car
newyorker
now you're generalising...
that's like saying they should design every car to ride as smooth as
possible without a cost penalty.
Engineering involves trade-offs. You've simply said "they should make it
better". You have done nothing to prove it can be done effectively.
windsonian
Again, cost. That, and filling up the engine bay isn't always a good
thing. In fact, I'd say it's bad to fill it up from a maintenance
standpoint. And an engine that filled up an S2k engine bay would be too
large. It's not a Ferrari, it's supposed to be somewhat affordable.
jedimario
i think what enthusiast means is that he would make it so that the car is
as light as possible yet rigid and strong, with the greatest amount of
horsepower possible from the lighest possible engine, which will wtill fit
in the smallest possible space...
i think on top of all that I would make it so that it was a convertible,
but perfect for winter driving, and had the highest possible gvwr, so I
could pull my trailer.

I dont like the Doorpanels, they just look sooo cheap and generic and
blank
The steering wheel is ugly
Power seat controls are strangely placed
Shifter is notchy
Gauge cluster sits right on the steering wheel and is detached from the
dash..looks like it was a frantic attempt to complete the car
Otherwise its nice
newyorker
Not exactly. For a bigger engine to be lighter it could do a number of
things, for example if it was two V motors you could possibly narrow the
angle of the V possibly minimizing the overal weight of the block.
Its not all in materials but layout also.
OHV motors can be very light compact and versatile.
Enthusiast
Well I was not making a statement saying their is currently a better motor
available, but instead I was saying was, Honda, while engineering the Z,
shoudl have made a better motor.
But if you want to play like this. Give me the overall dimensions and
weight of an F20C and we will go from there.
Enthusiast
Okay the S2K has a huge engine bay, LS1s and 2JZs fit in there. Next time
you see one ask to look under the hood.
Enthusiast
And the world would be a better place if all cars were designed with a
thought like that. Cause most people dont understand you cant have your
cake and eat it to so car manufactures have to try.
When a car manufacturer wants a car to do one thing without such a large
trade off, guess what happens, NEW INOVATIONS. I know its not possible to
be perfect of course their will always be a small tradeoff but if it was a
big gain on on side and a very small loss on the other who cares.
Enthusiast

S2000 engine bay
Honda made a great sports car that is pretty quick and very fun to drive,
enthusiast might not agree but obviously the 1000s of people got them are
on my side...same can be said vise versa about F-Bodies
newyorker
Remember that engineering as well as production costs money. Honda can't
just go and design the perfect engine every time they come out with a new
car. As much as their engineers would probably love to, the accountants
would never let them. For good reason too. Business is business.
Something doesn't have to be the best to make the most money. Just ask
Teac or Akai or any number of manufacturers who make cheap consumer
goods.
ummm..... what has that got to do with anything?
windsonian
And what layout is going to be more weight friendly than an inline? I
don't know a whole lot about the subject, but I'm guessing none.
jedimario
Just throwing this out there...Suppose instead of 2, it was a 3 liter
engine. Would that really add a lot of weight/make the engine too big? It's
like 250cc (a juice box) more per cylinder...
chris_knows
I imagine they would have to increase the size of the block a good bit.
Just a little in every direction, but it could add up.
jedimario
Just drove an 01 Cobra for work and I gotta say im not too impressed. The
clutch is heavy as all hell, when cold it grinds into reverse, the shifter
feels kinda detached and heavy, car takes forever to get to redline
compared to others....not a fan, love the look of it though and the sound
is beautiful
newyorker
Thats because mustangs suck. haha.
The Na 4Vs really run like shit until you gear then. They are pretty darn
sprightly when you throw some 4:10s in though.
the 95-04 (outside of terminators) mustangs have a horrible tranny. The
clutch is ridiculously heavy (and Im used to driving a Built t56 with a
750ftlb clutch) and yes the shifter feels like shit. I wouldnt mind a cobra
but the first thing I would do would be a T56 swap.
Like you said though they sure are pretty, saw one ar the movied yesterday
with bullet knockoff with about a 1.5 to 2 inch lip all around, slammed to
the ground with no spoiler and every light was smoked, oh and it was a
white car with center of the wheels painted black. Looked very nice.
Enthusiast
I know company cars are so much fun! Usually they are really nice and fun
to ride in when you aren't driving your own car! haha...
But you guys have REALLY nice company cars what types of positions do you
have to use it.
Guru
Customer pickups, taking them to/from shops/places...its fun
newyorker
Two completely unrelated things.
1) Is this the same job as you had a while ago? The one where you picked up
cars and put them on ebay, etc. Sounds different.
2) I find it comical how you refused to put your receipt on the
Japan-shipped engine because you didn't want people knowing your name and a
month later, put your full name into your sig.
Nissan_Altima
No he didnt want to put it up cause it didnt exist.:orglaugh:
Enthusiast
1. Yes this is the same job. I do a little bit of everything, mostly
photographing and listing cars on eBay and the site, but occasionally I
will drive them to/from shops, to/from auctions, use them for customer
pickups at the airport/train station. I also try to find new customers for
them as well, if I know someone looking for a car I send them to us, I get
to do a little bit of everything so its nice not to have to do the same
thing every day.
2. There is a difference between me posting my bank/credit card info and my
name.
newyorker
Drove a DC5 today. Wasnt impressed, rather slow and gay.

Three recent examples where you so eloquently offered your opinion. And you
have the balls to sit there and call someone else immature?
dodgerforlife
"looks like shit" and "looks like asshole" is the same as saying "looks
bad"...what is "the car is gay"...in this day and age the word gay can mean
literally anything...does he mean the car was happy or homosexual towards
other hondas...did a dildo pop up from the seat and poke him?
newyorker
Those are poor rationalizations, very poor infact. You tossed those three
vehicles aside purely based on the fact that they "look like asshole".
That's just as inane as someone tossing aside a car for it being "gay". And
I'm sorry, but generally when someone says a car is gay, something being
shoved up ones ass isn't the first thing that comes to mind...
dodgerforlife
Should have been there it was rather gay. I think most of it involved the
falace (sp?) shaped emblem on it.
Enthusiast
HAHAHAH!!! Ill get you some ,pictures of a camaro we have at work its such
a piece of ass that noone even wants to buy it. Its got 50k on the clock
and drives like total shit, has no real suspension, its slower than
anything ive driven, the quality is horrible, its uncomfortable....should i
go on mr cocksucker??
The RSX-s isnt made to be a fast car, its made to be a quick car that is
good all around...of course you wouldnt know that you only know how to go
straight.
newyorker
NewYorker, what kind of car is in your signature? If you don't mind me
asking I cannot tell exactly what it could be. Sorry for asking, just
curious what it is... :mrgreen:
Guru
Haha
Yah fbodys can onyl go straight. You do realize MT ran a 66mph slalom in a
firehawk. the E36 M3 only managed 63.6 and the DC5 barely edged it out at
66.8mph.
Enthusiast
Ladies, ladies, ladies. :doh:
I think we all know what Enthusiast meant when he said gay, I'm fairly
certain that most of us can figure that the car was not physically in line
at a Barbara Streisand concert, or coloring things "magenta".
Enthusiast, you're just promoting the gay-hating, tobacco-chewing,
Whitesnake-listening F-body stereotype that so many of us fight to bury.
And Ny'er, how many goddamn times do people have to tell you, modern
F-bodies pull better numbers in the slalom and skidpad than most of your
style performance cars. Maybe ya'll just can't handle the torque and keep
getting sideways.:laughing:
Also, is your F-body at work a V6? If not, that thing isn't running right.
If it is, it shouldn't even count in the same category. Honestly, I think
most will agree that th 6-bangers are not on the same level as their
counterparts. The V8 versions were, in my mind, made to be fast for cheap,
with a few ammenities. Without the fast, you're left with cheap and few
ammenities. Good for most women and kids in HS who want a Camaro/Firebird
but can't afford the car/insurance.
giant016
Man I could care less about stereotypes.
I was just messing with NYer cause I knew it would rile him up.
And yes I do chew. And?
Enthusiast
and the DC5 is FWD...
newyorker
a super duper 01 civic...its gay
newyorker
So. Whos fault is that?
Its like the ricer arguement of well its fast for a 4cyl.
Who cares? shouldnt have bought a 4 cylinder.
Enthusiast
Sorry not all of us want a big v8 motor...the RSX is a great car, as is the
new Si, you just wouldnt understand that because you think bigger=better
newyorker
Waitwaitwait...You bash the F-body's suspension, then when it's pointed out
the F-bodies handle better than the DC5, you pull this crap?
giant016
I don't care to be put in the stereotypical Camaro crowd, but then again,
who cares about the people that throw me in the group.
Kudos for messin with NYer. So NYer, how bout them Yankess?
Chew all you want. More women for me.
giant016
They are RWD, they have wider tires, the RSX is FWD, and just happens to
fall into the generation where Honda decided to use a crap suspension setup
and it still handles just as well
newyorker
Oh, okay. I thought it looked like something like a Civic but couldn't tell
exactly what it was. Thanks.
At least it gets you places, right? :thumbs:
Guru
Yea, lol. The only real benefit of it is that it sits up to 5 people, but
with the lack of power, you wouldnt want to carry even one passanger.
newyorker
And if you want to talk slalom speed, the Honda fit went through at 72mph
IIRC :thumbs:
newyorker
As far as Im concerned if a women wont date me JUST because I chew, then
shes not worth it.
Enthusiast
I feel the exact opposite...if something like chewing detracts women from
dating me...I'm gonna rethink my chewing. How about a stick of gum and a
trip to the dentist to clean up that stench!
.
.
BavarianWheels
Handles just as well? So then if they both handle the same, the RSX must
be only for going straight, correct? Ya know, since F-body suspensions are
only for a straight line.
I didn't know the Fit beat out a Z06 in the slalom though. That is
impressive.
giant016
No doubt, but who are you more likely to try to strike a conversation with
in line at the store, the ugly girl or her pretty friend in line? If you
chose the hot one, are you "not worth it"?
I don't kow about where you live, but around here 9/10 women will write you
off for chewing unless they fell in love with you before they knew you
chew.
This kind of sounds like me hating on chewers. I don't give a flying f*ck,
do what makes you happy so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.
giant016
No because the RSX is front wheel drive, and as I said before the RSX
happened to get the crap treatment when it came to suspension, it is
nothing like the Integra, Prelude, and even the TSX. The fact is that RWD
cars will almost always be better in handling compared to their FWD
counterparts. Furthermore, I dont consider the RSX to be a good handling
car, but it is definately more fun to drive than a Camaro, at least thats
my take on it.
Oh and yes, the fit is GO
edit: fit article here, and apparently it was the lane change...cant find
slalom speeds

newyorker
Well I rarely chew around girls anyways, and if its a girlfriend Ill tell
them I do it and will RARELY do it around them. I usually just do it at
work, at partys, and when playing sports or working on the car.
Around here Id say 3/10 girls will write you off for chewing. Not a big
deal. Ive met plenty of girls who can get past it. In fact I saw something
hilarios and kinda weird the other day. Probably one of the prettiest girls
Ive ever seen showed up at a house party me and my buddy threw and she saw
my can in my back pocket and asked for a pinch. I could not quit
laughing.
Oh and bav I take pretty darn good care of my teeth even though I chew.
They are not stained from it, and you cant smell it on my breath.
Edit: About the ugly girl and pretty girl. To tell the truth Id talk to the
pretty girl. The physical attraction is the first thing that will draw you
to a girl. Im sorry but if youve never met a girl, its not like you can see
her personality. Sure if youve known a girl, who isnt the greatest looking,
for a long time and she turns out to be cool as shit, then you may end up
dating her, but unfortunatley alot of great girls never get a chance just
because that initial physical attraction isnt there to draw you to them.
ALot of girls call me shallow, but sorry without that physical attraction I
wouldnt pay any attention to them to begin with and probably never really
get to know them. Thats how Ive always experienced it and seen it happen.
Plus I love me some hotties haha.
Enthusiast
I'd say chewing is better than smoking for the people around you, but it's
a lot sloppier.

Displacement Replacement lol that whats i always say. hell wit the v8s.
4cylinder at 500HP~$2,000
grizzly v8 at 900HP~$17,000
seeing v8s lose to 4 bangers= priceless

Where does one find a 500HP 4 banger for $2,000?
jedimario
lol its an aprox. price lol. ~$2,000, that would be the price it would take
to make a 4 banger 500Hp
DARKtEAGLE
Couldn't one say that they could get a grizzly V8 at 900hp for $1,500? If
no, why not?
chris_knows
lol not likely

i cant see how that can be done. prolly if ur sponsered by a big company
DARKtEAGLE
Wow your a stupid ass ricer.
Tell me a build including prices for a non sponsored person to build a 4
banger to 500hp for 2K, and maintain some shred of driveability and
longevity.
And if you compare the price to make a SBC to 500hp and compare it to a 4
banger. You lose.
A normal V8 wouldnt need 900hp to outrun a 500hp 4 cylinder.

That's my point. I (and it looks like everyone else in this thread) can't
see how you could squeeze out so much power for so little scratch.

DARKtEAGLE
