An opinion from France.
Here common drivers are pretty nice with the S2000. I've never faced any negative action against me while driving the S. Moreover people are talking to me very often, asking what the car is, asking for technical specs etc.
I had a little boy while I was stopping on the red light who told her mom "Hey mom look at the Ferrari"

most people will merge when Im coming up behind them. Love it when people will actually do the correct thing and merge out of the way.

I noticed some of you posted about our blind spot. It is pretty bad, so I went out and got a little fish eye mirror to stick on my mirrors, I can see everything literally. I was and maybe still am contemplating selling my car just because people drive like idiots and I almost die 3 times a day. Most are old people who can’t see me. I guess silver S with HIDs on is hard to see?
I’m hoping I can find a decent DD and keep my S in the garage at least driving it when sunny and/or on weekends. Another car note FML : o

You live in Mobile? You can drive top down year round down there unless it's raining. I'm from Lafayette, LA and miss the mild winters.

I actually find that it seems like everyone is on highbeam behind me, maybe because S2K is so low. The light through the mirror always blinds me. Anyone has a fix for this?
