Default Drove an S2000 tonight

Thanks to KyS2000 for letting me once again pilot his little yellow rocket.

I find the more I drive the car the more I enjoy it. The steering is amazing. Every twitch of the wheel related directly to a change in direction. Awesome!

My biggest complaint is leg room. This car is too small for me, though at 6'1", 275lbs I'm probably larger than the demographic, and it may simply be that I'm too big for the car, rather than it being to small for me. This however, does not explain the lack of a tilt steering wheel, which would, in my case, free up a lot of leg room.

It's easy to compare the S2K and my GSX by their strengths, Accelleration vs. Handling, but this is pointless, since they are completely different machines, each with strengths and weaknesses in different areas.

Again, thanks KYS2000 for the drive, and cheers to the Corona which we were fetching on this particular outing.

It amazes me when I see 6'3" +200lb people owning the S. You have to REALLY love a car to put yourself through that torture.
