Dramatic difference between the S2000 horn and our RSX-S's horn (on par with a microwave's "it's done!" buzzer)

You guys must have AP2's and never heard the 00-01 AP1's horn. We only have a single horn unit whereas you guys have dual horn units. My 00 sounds like one of those clown car horns. A very timid "mmmeeeeeep".

Makes sense. AP1 is just a rebadged Miata, right?

Close calls? I feel like everytime I merge onto the highway to come to work is a close call. That's Cali traffic for you though.

Didn't know that, nor had I read about it in any of the "AP1 > AP2" topics.

I wondered how long before someone noticed.

Next thing you know, owners of Miatas will start waving at AP1 drivers and then what will the neighbors think?

Foot slipped off throttle when blipping resulting in shift lock. That was a very close incident.

Doing a 360 on a single lane road over a bridge which was somehow sheer ice with a very long drop into the forest. She screamed. I somehow saved it after quite a long deep breath, then thought I was the late Colin McRae.
