Well... I was driving to an autocross the other week, and I had never been to this venue before, so I had some directions on a post-it. As I am approaching what I think is the exit, I pulled out the directions, and whoosh- out of my fingers and onto the highway! But it was ok- I found the place 30 min later (even though it was only 5 min away from where i was).

Oh, and also on one of the first days I had my S, I was driving down my street with the top down and waved to a girl I knew. In the process of waving, I whacked my garage door opener and it flew off the visor, out of the car, and onto the street. I was too embarassed to stop and pick it up, so I went home, waited til she went inside, then slyly walked down and picked it up. What can I say- I'm smooth!

Also:

Bandana (for holding GF's hair)
Soft pouch for Oakley sunglasses
Gas receipts
Friend's LIT cigarette (to his delight it did actually come back into the car and land on the seat between his legs. Somehow he talked me into letting him smoke since the top was down ... NEVER again)

Lost one of those airport parking tickets in a gust of wind as I accelerated to the exit booth. Luckily my car was registered in their computers on time of entry so I didn't have to pay the lost ticket rates.
