You have to drive an S like you ride a sportbike.....
Like nobody sees you,
and even if they do.....
they could care less about you.
I drive with conservative aggression, and knowing full well that 97% of the general public barely have the driving ability of a trained monkey.

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?

Here in Australia, the S tends to draw attention than they do from what I saw in the US (I only saw vegas, havasu, LA and miami, mind you)... mostly because we don't tend to have the same number of supercars rolling around on our streets.
In spite of this, I tend to find a similar level of contempt from other drivers who don't indicate, swerve and cut across lanes in my s2000 as I do in my civic... which isn't too bad, but definately isn't great either. I think that it might be more of a personal pickup because some days seems worse than others and that isn't how probability works.
Unfortunately, we also have to deal with stone-age highway design and maintenance. On the upside, we have roundabouts, which are heaps more enjoyable than a 4-way stop

It's a mix of respect/disrespect when I'm in either the S2k or the Miata. In both cars though everyone gets up right on my ass as stoplights and it pisses me off. As for driving when I'm casually passing people tend to get on the far side of their lane away from me like I'm speeding by at 100. That's TX drivers for you though. It's 50/50 whether people move over form the fast lane or not when I come up on them.
