I temporary moved for three months and decided to only take one of my cars, so I took my Lexus. I do not have withdrawls, but I have a habit of trying to find the clutch, which is where the parking brake in the lexus is.

Masturbation, cheap street drugs, expensive whores mainly because when you're on the drugs you need an expert, salt and vinegar potato chips, 11-pack of natty ice one short because you gave one away to the bum that dropped you a name for the street drugs....this helped me. Like you, the repair shop gave me a Mazda that looked like a roller skate and it sucked.

My other is a 280Z with an LS1. What it lacks in manners, niceties, and normal functions like windshield wipers it makes up for in glorious noise and a never ending torque band. What do I do when I have neither of those? Bitch and complain, mostly.

I drive my '04 Accord 6-6 coupe when I'm not using the S2000. If I'm in the mood I'll take out the Lightning.

I was away from the S for 1 1/2 months and it was weird.
Cars driven during the wait period:
2006 Toyota corolla (sister): no push start gets me 1/2 the time, doesn't like going on/off ramp at 60+, doesn't like going 60+ at all. haha
2001 Toyota Rav4: ^(everything above) + bigger and even slower. However, I love the extra space inside for my supplies and books.
2001 Mercedes C230ish: Nice umph, VERY delayed reaction for brakes Gas is a

When I got the S back... holy...! I forgot it had the push start . Top down and sprinted driving .

I kept myself sane by looking at pictures of S2000's, imagining the tach of each car I drove was just as good, pretend I'm saving gas by not hitting rev limiters on those cars

But really, just got my S2000 a few days ago, and it's at the dealership getting fixed. It was shipped from another dealer, and I think they dented it during transport. At least dealer is fixing it for me for free

You suck. Other than the reportedly enormous maintenance costs, the F355 is my "one day, this might happen..." car. You should post your feelings of driving and owning both it and the S after a few months.
