Thanks for the recounting of your story. I would have been frightened to drive a "new" S cross-country like you did. What an adventure!
As far as your comment about the blind spot, if you adjust your mirrors correctly ( http://www.cartalk.com/content/features/mirrors/ ), or keep the top down, no problems!

Sorry if it seemed like I offended you. I'm positive not everyone is like that but I could only speak for the parts that I traveled through which was mostly rural. In those parts everyone fits the country boy stereotype. I took the 40 nearly the whole way and most of the travel was empty or small "cities" with maybe a population of 200. Cant say for sure but they were really small and it looked more like a gas station stop to me than a supposed city.
Also my wipers WERE on high which was the scary part. I would have liked to look at their tail lights but all i saw was a huge glaring red blob and at the same time I wouldnt want to drive myself off the road. I was sticking to the middle listening to the bumps from the reflector to help guide me >.<

.I doubt you were getting attention by being asian. The Asians are taking over my city from the west side.
But its the car that gets the looks. I think there are a lot of s2000s in Cali, and while there are plenty here people are like wtf is that car? Its just not a very widely advertised car and most people expect Honda to make nothing better than a Prelude in my opinion.
I've yet to get any comments from teens really. I've gotten compliments from old men and an about 4 year-old kid was talking about my car like it was a monster coming to get him last night when I stopped to drop something off at a girls house
.Btw isn't that a 7-Eleven gas station you said had a lot of gasoline options? Yeah they do have a ton of options while the other gas stations like shell only have 3 options+diesel usually. (regular, premium, and than I dunno what the third option is something like super unleaded)

WTF? Hardee? Is that supposed to be a rip of Carls Jr? Or is it just called something else over there?
[/QUOTE]
That is what it is. - Hardee's owns Carl's Jr.
You also have to remember that you live in a very densly populated area of the country, and you visited a very low populated area.
I am glad you got back ok and congrats on the S.

No offense taken. Just setting the account straight that we don't ride horses to school .

Btw isn't that a 7-Eleven gas station you said had a lot of gasoline options? Yeah they do have a ton of options while the other gas stations like shell only have 3 options+diesel usually. (regular, premium, and than I dunno what the third option is something like super unleaded)

I was in Asia and oddly the culture shock there wasn't as big as it was here. Maybe I was just expecting it to be like that there while here I wasn't prepared.
