flashed... both by other cars and the "girls gone wild" variety. 
but unfortunately, i actually got pulled over by a cop last nite cuz he suspected i modified my headlights since they were so bright! he checked my high beams also and then told me to drive safely... go figure...
hmm... many have told me that the s2000 has the brightest of all HIDs? is this true?

About 3 weeks after I purchased my car, I got flashed. There were three teenage girls in a Grand Cherokee, two of the passengers flashed me, I almost lost control of the car. Still think about that now!!!!

I was out the other night and switched lanes into the right lane to catch an upcoming turn. Well, right after I switched lanes, I went over some railroad tracks, approached the corner and turned behind the man in front of me. He had been driving normally, but proceeded to not exceed 15 MPH in the 35 MPH zone. He slowly crept up to 25 MPH as the speed limit on this road then increased to 55 MPH. Naturally, I passed him at this point when he made it clear he wasn't going any faster than that.
As soon as I pass him, he begins frantically flashing his brights. After a dozen or so flashes, he keeps them on and I notice he seems to have increased to the speed limit as well.
This kind of thing sucks, because I'm sure he was sitting there thinking about "that asshole in the sports car". And I didn't do anything wrong!!!
One of these days I am going to install a loudspeaker in my S so I can make an announcement to these people. "Attention, sir, I am not using my high beams. I repeat, I am not using my high beams."

Didn't get flashed, but I managed to get behind a school bus the other day with a bunch of blonde teenaged girls in the back. They were doing some interesting things with their tongues to me, guess I should have been flattered? Damn being 38 SUCKS...

LOL, This you wouldnt beleive. One my first run with my 01 Silverstone. I was flashed by a Truck driver's gurl friend. I was on the 210 West going to Raptor's crypt. I pulled infront of this truck and heard him honk. I looked into the mirror and the passenger have a big grin. So I got a closer look. She had her shirt up and clearly the ( * ) ( * ) was flashing out!!!
I slowed down the the right side.....they pull next to me, she then pressed her ( * ) ( * ) on the passenger window of the truck.....I was like....WTF?! My passenger couldnt beleive her eyes herself. I just couldnt stop laughing after that.

Heck, I even had a '70s 'Vette driver (driving same direction, but in front of me) lock up his brakes. I moved to the other lane, passed him (normal, gental driving), he caught up, swerved at me (would have hit me had I not moved into the emergency lane), and proceeded to cuss me out about brighting him.
I said, "thank you, drive thru", something about his IQ and showed him my favorite finger.
