Default The worst part about owning a S2000...

Is finding the damn thing in a big parking lot. I always end up walking around looking for my car, hitting the lock button hoping the horn will go off.



or maybe travelling with luggage, idk.

Every time you walk up to it, hoping the seats are still inside and/or the top isn't slashed.

No. they only drop and/or bend valves when you have a mechanical over-rev. if you don't screw up, they're just fine.

When you go to your car and it's hidden behind a bigger car. I nearly **** myself twise in one day, thinking it was stolen because of this.

Oh, when I pop the trunk would be another one.

^ ditto. Even though I'm not too worried about it in Irvine, it's still one of those "WTF" moments as I walk up to where I remember parking.

The noise is my main problem. I travel 36 miles to work on a highway and it's not an enjoyable ride unless the top is down.

my drive to work is about 45 miles each way, i can see how the noise can be a bit much, but coming from an h2b civic with solid mounts and a loud 3inch exhaust, its fine haha
