Can't wait to hear your comparisons of the Sol to the S2000. I almost bought the S2000 but then decided I could wait and get the car I really wanted.

Thank you.
I already need to wash the Solstice. It rained on the way home from the dealer. Amazing how dirty the road is.

I'll have to get back to you on that one. I need to get some miles on the Solstice before I will drive it nearly as hard as I drive the S2K.
-there is a ton more room in the seats of the Solstice.
-the (stock) windscreen on the Honda is real nice.
-there is more storage space in the S2K (trunk and CD box).
-the ride on the stock wheels of the Sol is much smoother than the low profile S2K wheels
That's a start. I know there will be more comparisons.
I'm not sure I will be able to afford to keep both cars, but I'm gonna try.

Congrats! You, like I, have some serious cars to put head to head, you should have some fun with that.
So, what do you think between them for style, is the Sol the hands down winner? Remember, you're on a solstice forum, careful
Hey! You picked yours up the same day that I did!
Both have styling points I like, but the Solstice definately turns my head more. Same with the folks that have seen me around town.

I don't have THAT problem.
There's enough room in the garage for MARiSOL and me both!

WOW and less that 40 days from time of order to delivery is even more amazing......how did you manage that!!!!!!....going on almost 5 months...and a 1000 cars before yours, and ours still not delivered...makes no sense....
GM.....whats wrong with the transport of our cars!!!!!!
Sorry really just getting frustrated here..happy for the new owners....getting ..... at GM!!!!!!
Mine was built on 10/3 and took delivery 11/30 vin 2400 so there is no rhyme or reason to the shipping, mine was held back for water leaks. Keep the faith it will come and you will be soooooo happy you waited. I keep going to the garage to see that the car is really there
It's supposed to snow tonight!
I haven't finished clearing out the garage
Guess I'll see what it looks like with a white tux...

I got it in the garage and wiped the 1" of snow off. That's what I get for waiting until the last minute to clear a space for the car.
Anyway, my Solstice is comfortably tucked in until the next nice day (after the salt is clear from the roads).

Just a quick update since I haven't posted here in a month.
My Solstice is comfortably settled in the garage today. The weather is not the best and I'd rather keep her clean and dry. We are halfway through January and Spring is just around the corner, so I am being patient.
I have driven close to 500 miles and even joined 4kids for a short cruise where we turned many heads. One Solstice draws stares and slows traffic, two stop traffic entirely. I can't wait until the weather turns. I've got several long trips planned.
Until then, I will drive my S2K. I need to sell it to reduce my debt load. Having it out on the road will increase visibility and desire among the younger set. Should sell fairly quickly.
Then I can turn all my attention to my beautiful ride.
