WOW, you finally actually let M drive the car!!!!!!

I've never been a passenger in my own car, but I've been a passenger in other people's S2K. Definitely feels different when vtec kicks in when you're the passenger.

Yes, I've been a passenger. At Wakefield with Naishou driving. I'm not scared by much, but that was really scary:

Naishou at Wakefield.

We'll be back there this Sunday, but there is no way I'm riding shotgun again.

it's fun when my dad takes my car for a spin on track days the same dad that's responsible for our 11-sec minivan and that frequently auto-x's his q and my mom's g35; and the same dad that embarrassed the racing instructor at an Infiniti promo event at TWS to introduce the Q45. (my dad was lapping faster than the instructor, who said he was actually trying to keep up - but couldn't.)

anyway, other than riding shotgun at TWS or at HRP, the most fun i've had in the passenger seat is when my dad parallel parked my car in the church parking lot... funny how the handbrake makes things that much more fun

Try being a passenger in an S2000 being driven VERY aggressively at an autocross. I thought that I was going to be black and blue everywhere. That is different.

Ha. Good question. Had the car 8 days now. Let my folks drive it, and a friend. Definitely MUCH more fun to be driving it myself, at least at this point!

I just hop I don't

blech! I really dislike being a passenger in another sports car. I don't like having a suprise creep up on me and there is nothing I can do about it. I have been scared too many times by super charged and turbocharged cars. Never again.
