I think it is just the excitement of the car doing it, heart beats faster etc.

Perhaps someone should create a mod with a driver's side catheter running to the radiator overflow?

You could augment the catheter for passengers with a simple "Y" stem.

On a more serious note, my 65 year old dad (ex Euro Rally Driver) made a special trip to see the S after I bought it. Only a few minutes into the mountains, he needed to pull over. He blamed it on his old man's prostate. Me on the other hand, blamed the load in my pants on my old man's incredible driving!

This is definitely the case for me; I have to loosen my belt and sit a little differently some days. As soon as I get out (i.e. stand up) the problem passes.

Heh, this post got me laughing, but its true.

A stiff, jiggly suspension can affect bladder urges. My S2K doesn't really bother me, but my CRX, with 700 lbs/in springs, can be a real pisser on long drives to get to the track. Drove it 400 miles once and had to stop 3 times on the trip. Normally its a 1 stopper, 2 at most.

I haven't really had too much problem with having to pee while driving, but I suppose the seating position does push on my bladder a bit.

The more serious problem I have (and this is actually a serious safety concern) is that the stiff suspension makes me drowsy. I'm using 280 lb fronts and 360 rears, which aren't really THAT stiff... but long drives on a slightly bumpy freeway with a rhythm to it (like the 60 fwy between Riverside and L.A.) make me get very drowsy very suddenly after driving for a while.

Anyone else experienced this?

Yeah, I think the problem is mostly likely from the position of the seats combined with the bumpty ride I get from driving. I know that it's the cause of the s2000 because this only happens when I'm driving.
