so let me get this straight
calling s2000 a very good handling car despite it being a bitch on the corners and having to be a professional driver in order to actually drive it
i spun out 3 times since i bought the car 6 months ago. not even doing anything crazy just accelerating a little bit part throttle on good all season performance tires
its similar to german car owners claiming their car is reliable( when you meticulously maintain it at the dealership)
lets get real here.
having to get a degree in s2000 driving does not make it a great car.
being pretty much the only RWD honda besides NSX is what makes this car great car by default... unless you can afford nsx
the engine though is a different story , engine is impressive
here are some other lies people tell to themselves:
mp3 sounds as good as cd if you listen to it on a cheap stereo
all motor d series can be fast, if you racing against other d series single cam
fat chicks are good too, if you lower your expectations
s2000 is a great handling car, if you are a world class driver and it never rains where you live
you can always trust your government they're there to protect your rights and freedoms

You 100% do not have to be a world class driver to pilot one of these....that said it's much less forgiving than a lot of vehicles.
Go get a Miata and beat the tar out of it kid; you will not even feel bad afterwords. Not to mention insurance, parts, and initial capital are all less on the MX-5.

Lol, something is wrong with your car or you're used to driving a toned down FWD car that lets you do whatever you want to it and never places a foot wrong.
Also, Honda makes another GREAT RWD car. The S660.

dws o6 are good all season tires they are the most used tires in WA and are one of the best rated all season tires...
I see at least one car a day with those tires on
last 4 roadsters we had were using those tires
and yes its possible that something is wrong with my car. but since everyone just assumes I'm a bad driver because I spun out. I get barely any suggestions about what might be wrong with the car

First step, post alignment numbers.

You've spun out three times & don't seem to have looked for a clear issue on your car.
The fleshy bit behind the steering wheel is the issue.

In any case, I must concur with those suggesting an introspective solution. Even if the issue is not your current level of driving talent, you certainly should want to improve something about yourself when you have 3 repeat failures at something and you don't think to investigate the cause. Even if its just improving your curiosity as to why this happened and researching potential causes.

...this car seems to HATE All Season tires. It seems to react very poorly, some have described it as dangerous, to anything less than UHP summer tires (and really prefers max performance summer or better). It needs the stiff sidewall inherent in these sorts of tires construction.
