Do you stink after driving with the top down?

Drive less in the city and more in the country.

I don't stink but I smell like I have been getting sun and like outside. Shoot, that's why I bought it.

I have taken several very long trips in the S and the top is always down, but i never really get a smell from it... I do have to agree with rnye though i defiently feel gross.

I get funky if I drive around all day with the top down. My back especially gets sticky and gross against the seat. It's way worse if you get stuck in traffic, obviously. I hate to turn on the A/C with the top down, seems like a waste. If I know I'm going to be sitting still for a while (Costco gas line), then I put the top back up to keep from roasting to death. I also wear sunscreen if I know I'll be in the sun for a while.

I'm glad I used to ride a bike before I get the S... Otherwise I would probably complain about:

1. Shifting five times till I reach 50mph during daily driving.
2. Wind/engine noise
3. Stiff suspension
4. Issues with driving in the rain
5. Snap oversteer?

I used to smell gas after every ride with my 919... The twin exhausts were basically inches away from my butt; and the weird aerodynamics pulled the exhaust gas up and back... My wife would notice the smell from 10 feet away...

I'd actually prefer it if the S2000 was designed as a coupe and weighed in around 2500-2600lbs.
