i always drive with the top down. One day it had been intermittantly raining, but this didnt stop me from rocking the TDM. I have the driving mod on the top down so i can raise the top without stopping. It is occasionally raining, but it doesnt hit me and all these other people are staring at me like i'm an idiot, but i dont care. I am just about to get off the highway when basically the heavens turned on the tap and it poured. This was absolutely crazy amounts of rain! From the time it takes me to slow to 25mph and put the hand brake up a little and press the button, i was absolutely soaked, as well as my car

I've had that happen a few times. I love the weird looks I get when I'm top-down with the wipers on.

That happened to me before and the wipers pushed the water in around the driver's side!

yea you have to be careful about that...

I once pulled up to a ABM at my bank but I swear it was meant for vans and pickup trucks. I had to open my door ever so slightly without hitting the ABM and stick out one leg to stand up just so I could reach the buttons. By the time I was finished, there was about 4 cars behind me and the one directly behind me was a Hemi RAM on lift kit that could have easily drove over my car.

I found it quite funny and I managed to sneak a peek at the guy in the Hemi and he was laughing at me as well

I think alot of us had the "looking for gas door button"

Mine would be trying to put the top down at a red light, putting down the ebrake to go forgetting that it needs the ebrake to go down, keeping everyone behind me there for a few more seconds....

Not cool

my best isn't in the s but it's funny

like 10 years ago in high school i had a '91 golf (slammed! lol) w/a completely beat clutch. i had my license 4 like a week.

i had me + 4 friends in there after leaving high school. everyone that left a certain way went up a hill that was almost str8 up. i shifted 2 2nd 2 soon & the heap was slowly losing power..........& of course, ultimately stalled.

hill was the steepest i'd ever seen then hehe. after 10 attempts w/that great clutch, and after the hill backed-up with about 20 other cars w/my high school peers, i had 2 roll back down the hill in neutral into a driveway, & drive DOWN it. never made it up that day!

couldn't hide that 1 lol. SO BAD! (of course when it happened i told all my chik friends in the car that it was all the clutch's fault
