...and also don't forget to check tire pressure often....if your car is "tilting" to one side, your tire pressures could be WAY OFF.

Shouldn't this be "S2000 driver looses traction and spins out in the rain." If the car spins out, it's the fault of the driver, not the car I know from first-hand experience

Actually, it should be "S2000 driver *loses* traction..."

Tony

P.S. Sorry, loose instead of lose is one of my pet peeves.

Loose women lose in the end.

I am curious to see if this has happened to some s-2000 owners or if it is a freak occurrence.
Months ago I noticed that my s-2000 rear tires were looking bald prematurely ( only 12,000 miles) and I don't burn rubber (I know, I should be driving a volvo), anyways, I started to notice that the car seemed to slip sideways on rainy days, until one day the car spun out of control even though I was going under the 45 mph speed limit.
