Best SoCal Drives?
I've driven a couple of the roads near my place (Angeles Crest, Big Tujunga Canyon) and they're fun. Just wondering where the best places to push the S2000 are.
What other routes would you guys suggest?

Definitely check out the Mt. Baldy area. I think out of all the roads in SoCal, the one that got my heart beating the hardest was the Glendora Ridge road.... kinda dangerous since it's not quite 2 lanes wide, but it's perfect for the S2000.

I would have to say the road to my cabin in Big Bear!! 
Lovely, has both long and real Baldy-like twisties, can get pretty quick, almost triple digits, and pretty safe, considering there are guard rails.
Second favorite would be Latigo Canyon, but only when the road is clear... when it isn't, it just makes me sqeeze my buttcheeks in fear...
Speaking of Latigo... yo Kuni, let's do that Malibu run again, where we stopped at Duke's to eat... that was fun

I'll add a few more to my own list.
Little Tujunga -- pretty narrow road, but tuns of twisties. A bit too populated on either end
Topanga Cyn -- a couple fun spots, but quite crowded and populated
Kanan Dume -- Pretty tame road, but the tunnels make for an awesome sound at 60 mph in 2nd :-)

I haven't done the Glendora, Azusa or Latigo runs yet but will definitely get those on the list.
Topanga used to be fun but too much traffic and it's too close to residential areas with people living in those hills.
Kanan and Las Virgenes are cool too but Mullholland is sweeeet! The Rock Store is great too for real tight switchbacks.
Here's a pretty good site for roads, maps and reviews from canyon carvers.
