S2000 fear factor
do you notice how other motorists react when you drive an S2000 vs say when you drive a normal car like an accord.
when driving the S2000 other motorists tend to "behave themselves", only juveniles want to race you and people overtake you less... a lot less or cut you off less.
after driving an accord for a week now i am starting to notice things i never did in the S... soccer moms in suv's want to race me from the light now and people jump infront of me despite seeing me coming, in the S they would wait for me to pass before merging into my lane and only juvy's wanted to race
....so i think the S had a certain fear factor, like say a fighterr jet in the sky, or corvette on the road
anyone else notice this?

People actually seem to cut me off more when I drive the S2000 and they also tend to come over the double yellow line when coming at me more since it's such a small car. When I drive my F150 work truck no one cuts me off (Probably because they don't want a 5,000 lb hunk of metal up their a$$ 
)
Also I very much find that people are more apt to cut me off when the top is down....I think it's jealousy since not many people have ever or will ever own a convertible but it looks like fun to them.
