I work in a large military base with lots of ample parking, so naturally I pick the furthest most isolated row to park.

What did I find parked 1-1/2 spots away from me when I go out to lunch? An '04 black GTO and little bit away a bright canary yellow Honda S2000. I had never seen either of these cars before in our lot, so I'm 99.9% sure that did they came to check out the new "kid" in town.

Funny thing, when my co-workers came to check the pony out, they completely ignored the other 2. I had to point out - hey that's a GTO!....They were like "where?"..."oh, I thought it was a Sunfire"....or "You mean that thing cost 33k ?!?".

Well that was my silly rant for today - just wanted to let y'all know that the "head turning quotient" of the '05 is still very high.

yeah the 05 definitly steals the show. Mine does the same here, I work on a sub base, and people hardly recognize any other car around except mine when I bring it in.

Don't knock the S2000. I know you haven't driven one. It is one awesome handling machine and it has the sweetest shifter in the business. It is a little too small to be messing with in the heavy traffic here in Atlanta.
