I'll help you then.

The car cannot be driven as quickly in the wet as in the dry. If you like driving the car FAST, using Vtec at every opportunity, etc, then you can only do this safely in the dry. Drive the way you do in the dry when it's wet and you will lose it.

I'm not someone who thinks that the S is lethal in the wet, but for me the pleasure is in taking advantage of the stupendous dry grip.

There's also the little matter of rain on your head. I tend to drive topless, or not at all. Cold isn't a problem, but rain most certainly is.

Lastly, it's a pampered toy, and I don't play with my toys in the rain.

If you have to drive the car every day, fair enough. But not everyone does, or wants to, and neither group is 'right'.



PS - only one suspected bit of malicious damage - but could have been someone being clumsy. Scratch on rear bumper - easily repaired invisibly.

It's parked off the road and rarely left unattended, so I would be unlucky to get it keyed, etc.

If you have a 'nice' car, it's only a matter of time IMO.

I've had 4 scratches on my car. I've got 3 now as someone decided to try and reshape the passenger wing

I don't think any were deliberate but I'll never know.

I always try to park my car in the "safest" place possible. But after all it's a car and shit happens.

Interesting point

But Im not sure about yur claim that BMWs and porshes. I think M3s, M5s boxsters wont attract that much attention because there are here ,there and everywhere. S2000s are much rarer. When I parked at work, some of my colleagues were coming up to me and giving compliments even though I hadent told them I had bought the car. I think its good that the car attracts some attention but not to the stage where you come back to the car and there is crowd hanging around there(like a brand new lambo gallardo I saw parked in a not so nice area in Rochdale last month).
