For all you people worrying about loss of traction:
Buy a Racelogic Traction Control for <$1k. It's more important than that noise-but-not-horsepower producing intake and exhaust.
Biggest fear is theft / vandalism and not being able to replace my modded S2000 without a lot of down-time or suffering.
I used to fear deer until I realized they can hear me coming from a mile away and move away while giving me a, "WTH?" look.
(I'm being a little facetious, but I swear they never seem surprised by the time I get near)

Showing up for a test I'm not prepared to take ...
... and THEN, noticing that I'm naked.
The thing that most often worries me is, without a doubt, deer. This may be related to the incident where my wife hit a deer while test driving a brand new Prelude Si in heavy rain, or it may just be because we have so many deer, and so much deer related damage, in this area.
In heavy traffic I'm a nervous reck in the S2000, but when I'm expecting heavy traffic I usually leave the Honda at home.

Easily my biggest fear:
A child runs out in front of my car and I hit them.
I would be utterly devastated if I killed an innocent child-- that's why in neighborhoods I'm always going the speed limit or slower, and really pay extra attention esp when I'm passing parked cars that a kid could run out from behind. On top of all that, if you kill a child with your vehicle and are found at fault, you can count on a few years in PMITA prison...

#1 fear is getting sideswiped (like when someone doesn't look while changing lanes and just comes over)
#2 getting pulled over-- after getting pulled over once from a cop that was passing me on the other side of the road I do not F around anymore lol

Hitting a deer taking its legs out from underneath it and it rolling over the hood and its legs coming through the top and it start kicking the hell out of me while trying to slow doen and get pulled over. Yes i know not likeley but it could happen.......
ROCKS the size of mini basketballs.......busted carbon lib, dented floor pan ripped off rear clip insurance would not cover cost me almost 750 for paint and body work SUCKED.
Being broke down with a simple mechanical failure in a dark lonley stretch of road late at night in the middle of BFE. my bad already happened. Throttle cable snapped. Piece of wire laying on ground looped around the cam on the TB doubled over and looped within the remain throttle cable with some zipties and ducttape limpped home almost 45 miles with no more than 20% throttle.
Being stranded W/O zip ties, duct tape, electrical tape, phillips and flat and adjustable wrench and cell phone with no service.
