You're right Chris. My dealer requires a 500.00 non-refundable deposit before you take the keys to an S2000. The salesman who I bought my Prelude from would have let me drive one, but he said that was sent down from corporate as an insurance risk for anyone not buying the car to just take on a joy ride. Which, again, is why I would question why anyone would let a 21 year old drive an S2K. I wouldn't let a 21 year old drive my Prelude, and it's nowhere near an S2K.
