I Need Help Before It Is Too Late
I have a problem. Drivers here in Raleigh are bringing out the worst in me. Today in to work I passed one car on a double yellow cause he was going 15 in a 35. Passed another in a turning lane after making a left at a stop light. On that pass, I got a little too agressive and the back end came out on me. What I need is A) Speed regulator B) Anger management classes or C) A early model Geo Metro!!!!!!!!!
Please help me, this car is going to get me into a lot of trouble if I do not do something

Go for Option B
Watch out for that. . .it will get you in trouble and not just by the LAW. . .don't forget that S2000's are not as popular as a Ford Taurus and can easily be remembered. . .that person you just passed can decide to take out of some of their road rage at a later time on to your hood with a key!
Or decide you need new tires with a switchblade!
I try to always drive nice. . .this will prevent any unnecessary tire slashings and keying done to my baby! Just count to three. . .
Also, if you got a Metro, it would just lead to more aggression because then you COULD NEVER pass anyone!

You are right. I usually do drive very conservatively, but today I was late and had gotten into an argument with my girlfriend. Should not let stuff like that get to me while behind the wheel. Cause I know I would flip out if someone keyed it. Will try to stay cool.

I would do two things.
Get a good radar detector. I use the V-1 and its saved me many times.
Second, go to the track and race there. This will show you how laime it is to drive quick on the streets and more then anything, against other cars.
If this doesn't help, Option four comes to mind. Convert your S2000 to an electric car. That way you have the looks yet, but no power. Although driving around with a very long orange extension cord may look a little wierd.
