Default So much negative attention!

I've only had my s2k for a month, I love it! I am coming from a highly modded mini cooper s which was a ball but too "cute" and I just didn't feel it suited me anymore. The s2k is amazing, puts a smile on my face every time I push the start button!

BUT, every time I go for a drive people want to play. This is fine and dandy but most of the time its kids in rattle canned Honda civics with fart can exhausts and it seems like they all have this f@#k you attitude. Anyone get this? I live in CNY so the S2000 is pretty rare and I've probably seen 2 in the past 5 years.

roll down your window and say "hello sir, I would not like to participate in illegal street racing activities. Have a nice day"

You could also look over and make eye contact, and maybe even flash a smile. That way when they peel away with their loud fartcans they'll know you were fully aware of their intentions - only to be ignored cause they're unworthy of your attention.

Doesn't happen much to me but I'm not in the suburbs where all the kids seem to live either.
