Default ne1 else have 'offday' in the S once a while?

99% of the time the seat fits like a glove, the clutch/shifting perfect, etc etc but once a while the seating just doesnt seem comfy, i hear all these buzzing, and i actually stall the engine!

today was such a day.. i hadnt stalled the engine for as long as i can remember, but during the 15 min commute i stalled TWICE!! and i had to adjust the seat 4 times b/c i wasnt just comfy.. wtf???

I hate dropping off my car at Honda because when I get it back, I have to take a few minutes to adjust the seat and try to find my "sweet spot" again.

i get the same thing. i usually just adjust the seat a billiopn times, wait for it to get warmed up then run to 9k. that usually eases any apprehension/tension

I think that can be equated to moods, probably everyone gets it.

Personally, I have our G35Coupe, My 1966 VW Fastback, until last week our 2000 4-runner, and every so often (last 2 days) my sister's 325. A drive in any of them makes me long for my S.

just get locks so that no-one can move your seat from your exact comfy position, or do what I do - don't let anyone drive your car except you

I grinded twice since I've owned it...damn me!!!!...aside from that, I love everytime I'm in there (well, maybe not when I'm sitting in dead stop stupid LA traffic where the S just should not be around).

Sometimes a baseball slugger goes 5-for-5 with two HR, but sometimes he goes 0-5 with three SO....

Have had the S2000 for 2 1/2 days now, and the daily driver feels so spacious and luxurious in comparison, hahaha.
