Embarassed by an S2000 tonight!!!

Well, my bro has just came home from serving in the US Navy for 6 years.

His S2K was parked in front of the garage blocking my way....so I had to move it to get out.

I was having trouble getting the car started.... I kept turning the key in the ignition but then the car wouldnt start. I was getting pissed cuz I need to move the car and get my EVO out fo the garage. Lo and behold my buddy who was waiting for me walks up to me and points out the red "Start" button.

I felt like an idiot at the moment but we all had a great laugh....

The next dilemma was finding out how to get the car in reverse. For some reason I thought R was forward, next to 1st gear but I was wrong again....

anyhow.... goes to show how much I have forgotten about Hondas

I had trouble starting a prius the other day. It turns out you gotta stick the remote in a hole, and press a big power button 3 times.

Prius - stick big remote in hole, hold down brake, press power button once.

But yea, that s2k confused me how to get in reverse and start it too... lol. ur not the only one. I worked at the honda dealer for a while and my boss was laughing at me cause i didn't know how to get it to go anywhere. haha. Reverse is a b1tch on that though. Its a really fun car to drive though.

yep. i think its really cool, and really smart on honda's part that i'm sure its a relatively inexpensive component.

man the start button's like one of the best interior features on the s2k mate.....it's sexy imo. reverse is a bit tricky...but once u get out of ur driveway and on the streets, that's when the fun begins it's an awesome car.

Also, by the way, the reverse when starting a car comes from the SAABs
