Just want to give props to my friend Lorenz for landing a feature article in Super Street, January 2011. I personally am not a fan of the mag, so I don't want to hear about it! But hey it hits closer to home with this! It's a badazz Honda S2000 with a lotta bucks invested, including a Spoon Sports body make-over. He has sponsorship, which helps. ... Bah, I still run circles around him performance-wise! :chuckle: Nice job Law! Check it out when it hits the stands. :)

I really don't like the hatch look of it. I do give him props on all the hard work but it just isn't my style. Kinda looks like a mazda mx3.

Yep, that's a clean one alright. But there's nothing quite "wild" about it, unless it's like 800hp or something ;) . In respecting the "never complete" attitudes of our automotive enthusiast community, Law's has much more time, money and thought put into it. I'll take either one; always loved the S2000. And yes, you're entitled to your opinion ... for now. :ohno:

otherwise congrats on a car with time, money , and thought put into it.

One thing I hate about some mags and their stats:
radiator hoses, radiator cap, battery, oil cap, oil filter...

WTF, really? C'mon people, this is about complimenting a friends efforts - not bashing the ride. Seriously, would anyone say these things to his face at a show not knowing him? :tisk: Ridiculous.

PS - I helped pick that color.

I would and have mocked cars in front of their owners. Especially the ricers that parking lot pimp at car shows next to real cars like they belong there. Everyone is entitled to their opinions man. The more you personalize a car, the less people will like everyhting about it. Grats to him for getting published, and I don't see anybody here saying the car sucks, just pointing out aspects they don't like, which is to be expected for a car that personalized.

PS - I'm a big fan of blue, and that color is gay.

I didn't ask for opinions. When you insult someone's ride that obviously has a personal factor put into it, you insult them. This is a beautifully executed car, not some run-of-the-mill dreamer Civic. Furthermore, it really rubs me wrong when people start attacking something that begins with nothing but positive energy. And I've been in two (let's call them scuffles) over somebody making comments about my car to my face. The world is full of haters. I choose to find something positive about anything I don't care for personally, especially in front of someone who takes pride in it.

Aside from Dato on the paint no one flat out insulted the car. You need to calm down. No one is making fun of him. If you get into "scuffles" with people over their opinions of your car you need to calm down. When people say "the car is good, expect for this one minor part" you are focusing on the wrong part of the statement. Instead of going and getting upset about the 1% they don't like, why not accept the fact that they like the other 99% and take it at that? Also, insulting a car is not insulting the person who owns it unless they build their sense of identity off the car, and that's not a healthy situation for them.

Oh, I'm not losing sleep over opinions. I'm not upset, why would I be. And the scuffles were a little more intensively started by others than you think ... words are one thing, but don't raise a fist at me and not expect what's coming next.

Nope, not that I'm aware of. Lots of road trips. Just a fun street car and head turning project. :biggrin:

Um you just called the color gay. That's about the first and most major thing you see when looking at the car.

If it makes you feel better Scotty, I really like the color. True that the more a car is personalized, the less others will like it, in most cases. It's not what I would have done personally body wise, but hey, my car is a p.o.s and will never be featured in a mag, and that I can't hate on.

I'm guessing for an HPDE? Perhaps a regional time trial? I'm looking at it's list of modifications and everything done to it pretty much takes it out of any proper classing. Any idea of what time it turned?
