Admittedly, I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to spirited driving; few cars are worthy of my attention. I have no interest in proving myself to a young punk in a Nissan or BMW. I'll only entertain cars that I admire, which generally means select Porches, Astons, Audis, etc. and ONLY if they show interest. Examples of cars that I ignore include the C-class, Cadillacs, Acuras, Lexus, and all non-luxury brands (Honda included). This has nothing to do with money and my car is not crazy fast, it's just that I want something in exchange for my effort. Sorry but your entry-level Benz doesn't impress me in the slightest.

I think a lot of non-car people know little about the S2000 and are curious about it's performance. I mean, it looks fast..but it's a Honda. How fast could it be? Well unless you drive something nice you won't find out from me.

If someone keeps on trying to mess with the S. I give them a gear or two of WOT. My exahust is so loud it scares people and usally they never pull up next to me again. Espically if they have their window down haha

I don't like these people so I don't give them the attention they want.

For the general purpose ricers in Hondas, Nissans, etc. I understand that they're probably just excited about the car and I appreciate that. As long as people know their place in the food chain we can get along.

Funniest little Jetta I could've seen, had *FREE DROPS EAT SNITZELS* on the rear window going 10 under the limit, passed him and when he noticed, he slammed on the gas and we got to a stoplight. His passenger had the nerve to knock on my window for a race. Light went green, front tires began to smoke and he never noticed the unmarked copcar on my right. Pulled over FTW
