Molotov cocktail?!? Holy moses., where did you park it, back in time to the 1930s?

 

When someone went pee pee in the back of the car and the car started to smell like piss and not new car smell!

 

not s2000 but one of my old cars-
i reluctantly joined my school's korean students club "picnic", and tried to be nice by picking up their garbage after. the garbage bag in my trunk with leftover beer + bbq sauce + kimchi leaked on the way back. try smelling that after getting it cooked in your trunk for 3 hours under mid-august sun.

 

Try leaving bicycle shorts, a shirt and shoes in the back of your daily driver for two hours in the middle of a Florida August after you have worn them on a 70 mile ride.

 

This took the "new-ness" away:



Can read about it HERE

 

GTO: Parked it outside one day. Came out to go to the store, and there were TWO golf ball sized dents in it, one in the hood, one on the passenger side door

G35: Less than a month after I bought it, I parallel park in Salt Lake City to drop by my girlfriend's apartment... Come back out, my drivers side rear wheel and rear bumper are torn apart... aparently someone sucks at parking, and didn't feel the need to leave a note

Z06: Keyed

S2000: Bought used, so it was never new

 

Mine still feels new every spring, even after 6 summers of driving, but that's because it goes into storage for 5 months during the winter.

 

ouch.

 

I honestly never thought that would ever happen in the driver seat of my S, but after 7 years of driving I finally met someone flexible enough to give it a shot. That was quite a night.

Anyway, that's not what took the newness away. In my very first year of ownership I was trapped in the fast lane behind a truck that blew an old hubcap into the air going about 70mph. Unable to change lanes or slow down much, all I could do was watch it spin (seemingly in slow motion) until it slammed into my bumper. It left a perfect hubcap shaped mark deeply etched into my paint. That was the very first blemish of any kind on my baby. I will always remember it like it happened yesterday.
