Smoke coming out the air vents
Was driving around town at 45mph range with a/c on two bars when smoke started visibly flowing from two of the vents
Was this mere condensation or a more serious problem from the engine?? Never seen it in the S2000 or any other previous car I have been in.

I was concerned about this before too. A few weeks back someone posted a thread about this. Please rest assure there is nothing wrong and this is normal. Just condensation.
There was an outrageous (true) explanation as to why this happens, and why it is more common in the S2000.
Short form: It's normal, so smile!

It's just condensation. Mine does it too. I've had other cars do it as well, for some reason the S2000 does it more regularly. I think it's because the compressor cycles on and off more often than my other cars did.

I also get the moisture from mine.....but does anybody else's sound like it is possesed when it is on? Sometimes mine emits some very strange sounds from the air vents with the air conditioner on.

Before you shut the car off,turn off the A/C and switch over to outside air and let the fan blow on high for a few minutes.That will dry up the moisture in the system and pervent that what I call "pissy diaper"smell when you turn it back on.

Pull over immediately and run away from the car screaming like a school girl!! 
Aside from that, I agree with what all the others said.
