Well, I am enjoying the comments. But I do want people to realize that I'm really not a bad driver. Not the best, but not as bad as my car makes it seem. I have the tires at 32lbs.

As for plastic parts falling of the convertible. The one piece that is now lost is on the car itself, not the top. While sitting, turn your head around, right where the top meets the car. There is a small piece (about 3/4 inch x 3") of plastic that fell out twice on both sides, and one is now gone.

I should have broke this thread up into a few pieces. All of my problems listed in just one thread make it appear that I absolutely hate this machine. That, I do not.

By the way, I have yet to drive it with wet roads. I'll take one of the trucks out instead. As for temperature, I've had it thru August, in 95 degree weather also.

I'll get the alignment checked next week.

On straight aways, the car is fine, but even taking corners as fast as the crappy car in front of me seems difficult at times.

Thanks Guys, I will keep you posted.

cheer up dude, if guys dont have much experance with trucks they dont know what your talking about. If I put my S2000 away for more than two or three days in favor of my dodge truck. It feels very strange to get back in the 2000. It's much tougher to get the back end of a truck to move around because your using the weight distribution to do it. the back end is lighter and your pivioting the truck around the center of gravity. In a sports car the center of gravity is in the middle, so it feels much different. if the car has enough power you can move the back end with the engine. (RWD only) I'm a little timid with (baby) when I havent driven her in a few days. But you've got to throw this car around to get used to it. drive it like it's the neighbor kids go-cart. Use the power to move the back end around. (use the force, Luke. LOL). You'll love this car very soon.

 

Don't worry guys, I'll don't take offense to anything said. I'm pretty easy going.

Hey majdad, I am trying NOT to have the car slide on me. It seems too easy to kick it out. By the way, I'm a landscaper, not a computer guru, when I figure out how to post a picture on this site, I'll see if I can't get someone snapping a digital of me sliding my 35' cabover flat bed completely sideways, and coming out just fine! Sweet as it gets.

Yeh, anyone can sling the cars sideways, but hey, how bout a 10k lb deisel landscape truck? The workers love it (I'm still a safe driver).

 

Ever thought about autocrossing? The truck?

 

If you come out to So Cal, there are a bunch of shops that we can recommend. It's a little far to drive, but at least you can drive your car with the top down here during most of the winter.

[B]Curious....Is there any place in the country that works on these cars and knows them inside and out?
