Looks like I've developed a driving style that I've never had before. That's good as long as I remember which car I'm driving!
I've noticed the tires started squealing on the 98 Camry whenever I'm on freeway ramps. Seeing posted 20MPH on curved ramps usually means I can do double that in the S, say 40-45MPH. The Camry complains at about 30MPH.

Driving the Camry after a week in the S feels like I am driving a bus, it's so roomy and the steering wheel is so damn big.

And yes, I constantly jab at the dead pedal whenever I need to start the car.

I find myself occassionally reaching for the "Start" button on my '97 Nissan Pickup, trying to put it into 6th gear on the highway, reving it waaaaaaaaaay too high during acceleration, and taking turns and corners far faster than that POS truck is capable.

I'm not worried about me crashing the "S", I worry about me crashing the truck because I forget not all 4-wheeled vehicles are created the same.

S2000 definitely spoils you.

So true! An S is so awesomely fun and handles like go-cart. When I drive other cars, they're so boring. But different cars serve different purposes, like Camry for instance.

BTW, that picture is sick. I did NOT need to see that. Oh wait! Is that some peanuts I see in there? Just kidding!

I can see the cheese. But I thought the meaty bits were chunk tuna or something. I'm glad to see you taught your kids to properly chew their food.

Oscar Mayer Bologna. Kind of has that light tan look to it. The yellow chunks are obviously Kraft and the liquid that brought it all together was a Snapple Raspberry Iced Tea.

I go from my S to my 4Runner. After a weekend of driving the S the 4Runner feels like an elephant on an iceberg.

When I go from the S to the 4Runner it takes a day or two to get used to, but when I go from the 4Runner to the S, the car feels right almost immediately.
