My girlfriend and parents never lock the latches when they borrow my car and put the top down. After 4.5 years my car is perfectly fine. Don't worry about it.

That said, I agree with the poster that said you should change the transmission fluid...just to be safe

Ditto and I have had my car for over 5 years.

Yeah, better get your valves checked.

Seriously, isn't this like your second S2000?

Hi. Today, I hurriedly put the top down while at a stop sign and forgot to clip the right latch closed. Have I done any damage?

You're retarded!

Is it just me or is this why xviper left. He just couldnt take it anymore.
