Haha yeah it isn't just highschoolers. I am a highschooler and I have to say the majority of kids will stay away from the s2000 simply because its a manual transmission. I just sit there having a good laugh while girls sit there telling me how much better they think their automatic suv is than that horrible manual s2000. You even have to do more work while driving!!!

Most of all I will say that the majority of dumb drivers are not "sport car" drivers. Driving to high school I am paranoid as hell and stay 2 car lengths+ behind dumb drivers even if I am being a dick to the person behind me because I am paranoid that they will wreck into me or another driver. I watched a girl 3 weeks ago in the morning on the way to school driving her Ford Aerostar while putting on her makeup in her sun visor (whatever you call the flap you pull down above the driver and passenger side with a mirror on it.) I just stayed the hell away from her, but couldn't really get away because she was going the same place I was and I just watched her constantly swerve in and out from the left lane to about 3-5 feet into the middle lane. When we got to the parking lot I parked, and then she parked in the space in front of me and I'm just like ahaha no, you're not reversing into my Toyota Rav4 and I parked 4 spaces down from her .

I also really don't want to take my s2000 to the highschool because a lot of people joke around about keying my "nice" car which I take great offense to.

Be careful, drive safe, watch out for horrible drivers, and if you absolutely must race keep it to the night time when the streets are fairly clear and you aren't putting others in danger

^ keep it to the TRACK. The streets are far more crowded than they were even 5 years ago.

Here in a big city in Texas the streets are absolutely flooded during rush hour, but if you are out at 2 AM you may not see another car until about every 2 miles. Depends on where you live, if its a big business city or not because then there are truckers and all out in the early morning.

Still not safe you never know Whats around the next corner or might think cause its late they dont need to stop at a red.
Just cause you are trying to street race smartly dosent mean that it will still be safe.
Always think about the possible outcome for others not just yourselfs and drive responsibly.
Or you might be posting pics or others might be posting pics of what used to be your ride.

being a kid or not being responsible?
i tend to think that my iresponsibleness led to quite a few enjoyments. However that time has gone and i have to think of my future now
however sometimes you still have to let the kid out again

@HKSdrift3r - is your back bumper properly aligned? It looks like its a bit off at the back - mine is like that - and I can't get it straight.
