You've never driven an S2000 before

Nope, or anything that had more than 200HP, or something with a "locking" rear-end...

Either way, I think I'm done jacking with that. 2 times is enough.

And how! They're great cars riiiiight up to the breaking point... once the rear breaks, though, you may as well fold your hands behind your head and enjoy the ride. Years later I'm still picking dried grass out of hidden spots from a joyride I took down an flood embankment after a light rain. Counter-steered multiple times to keep it from going totally ***-round, but it pretty much goes where it wants to.
