I sometimes shift gears by using the very bottom of the stick shift, the lowest part below the shift knob, it makes it feel like I have a short shifter.
Another one would be I don't like driving behind trucks/vans. I have a phobia about trucks/vans tires causing rock chips on the S.

I have found the S to make me more anal and obsessive compulsive, lol. I don't like to drive close behind anyone and when someone passes me, I will let off the gas if they are coming back into my lane to help get more distance between me and them.
After a spirited drive, I too like to smell the tires and walk along the car and look at each panel to make sure I didn't get any chips.
When washing the car, I make sure there isn't a single water spot on the car, even if it means me coming back into the garage two hours after cleaning the car to make sure I got all of the water spots...before they etch into the clearcoat.
I park out in BFE.
I leave the car out in the driveway and admire the beautiful lines of the car while sitting under my patio.
I enjoy looking at the car from the reflections in the glass of buildings as I drive by.
The S is my obsession and the one material object that I love the most! My neighbors probably think I am nuts over...JUST A CAR. They will never understand until they own one.

-I sometimes just stand behind my car to listen to the grumble of my exhaust and smell the catless fumes
i constantly turn to look at my car after parking it and i'm walking away...
i park away from everyone else and i always reverse in cus i think the front looks so mean
i spend about 10 mins of my commute listening to only the engine and listening for more annoying squeeks, rattles, or other odd noises

Ok, I do most of the things you guys do.. I'd like to add my little thing I do:
I like to blip the throttle, tiny 200-300rpms, while sitting at a stop light. I like to hear the engine climb and descend.
