Default Driving during the stay at home order

For those of you who may be itching to get out and drive your S, (I'm one of them). I just read this article:

Stay safe!

Does is matter which car you drive (with top down) to go grocery shopping (taking the long route) on a nice day? Been out several times .

Driving with a busted tail light is an open invitation for a traffic stop. She wasn't stopped because she was driving. She was stopped for a non-compliant car. After that attitude helps -- or hinders.

Good point, Chuck. I missed that I guess.

We have been out several times, driving some of our favorite back roads. Haven't seen many other cars or Police, so we feel that social distancing is accomplished.
Feels a lot safer than going to the grocery or drug store.

I've been out a few times as well. I take it to the grocery store or if I am grabbing takeout from somewhere. You can literally drive anywhere, just call somewhere far away and order takeout!

I took mine out for it's on first drive of 2020 on Sunday, top down, while sunny and 58°. I always tend to forget over the winter how much fun it is to drive my S.

I see a few Pittsburgh-ers posting but I haven't seen any S2000's out. I usually take mine out a few times a week. Is anyone planning on going to the Pittsburgh Car Scene meet on May 9th in Monroeville at 4 Wheel Drive Parts?
