A lot of what you guys are mentioning at least sounds like accidents....I'm sure a few of you (Dan and others) can remember a not so pleasant group drive where the SUV tried to run us all off the road on purpose. Its horrible driving either way. Fortunately I have found the S to have quick enough responses to make up for others lack of so far.
handfull of change thrown out of the car defeats any attempts at harming the s...

thats pretty much how I got my S ( and ) lady came off onramp and immediatedly crossed 2 lanes right into me. she didn't even see me right next to her, not that I think she even really looked. I know it wasn't a case of me too small she too big, since she had an avalon and my car then was almost equal in size.

I do love the fact that with the top down you can flip off and glare at people from any angle.
HAHA funny you should mention that. I did that exact thing about 10 minutes ago while running to the bank. Some poor soul under estimated the turning abilities of the S2K and decided to try and jump in front of me. Needless to say she blamed me despite me having the green and her having a red light.

jnn4v,

Excellent advice man!!! I have been riding motorcycles for about 6 years and that is a mentality you NEED to survive in this area where everyone multi-tasks while driving.

Where's that thread about some suv tailgating a guy in an s2k and the guy in the s2k taking a sharp corner, making the suv run offroad?

Classic

I'm sure if it wasn't for that the suv driver would have never taken that landyacht off of pavement

I wonder if we could do something like this with the S2000? It would help people see us, for sure.

I think if that Escalade came into my lane it wouldn't even touch my S2000. I'd just be staring up at the bottom of it.
