If he was on stilts and jumped as hard as he could, he wouldn't reach it.

I find it hard to believe no one has mentioned the worst design flaw of the S2000:

If you smoke in your car with the top down, ashes and occasionally live embers can be blown into the eyes resulting in intense pain and temporary blindness.

Since we've already sued the beejesus out of the tobacco comapnies, I find it only appropriate we go after the automakers next.

And, you know, I really tried. The dumb smiley with the thread's title on the index; a couple of prety outrageous statements in the initial post; some truly absurd responses.

At least some folks who were at first taken in have gracefully owned up. Kudos to them.

Gotta say, though, when I got in the car this morning I noticed that the sweep of the dash and the door trim on the RIGHT side looks even more dangerous, especially for big-busted girlfriends...

I'm still trying to figure out how he managed to reach across his body to close the door. That seems like it would be extremely awkward given the interior room in the car. At any rate....DrCloud, as my dad would say, "you're a dumbass!"

While we're on the topic of suing people, I suffered temporary blindness from being subjected to the glare of our HID's. I'd like to see a warning label or some kind of reduced output to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future.

Oh, it can be done. I've done it a couple of times myself. Once, I was holding something in my left hand and didn't want to switch hands for some stupid reason. I leaned way out of the car so I could reach the door pull with my right hand. I yanked on that door to close it and the damn thing nailed me right on the melon. That's it. This thread has inspired me. I'm suing for a skull fracture.

Or maybe suing for let's say... well... I was driving around in the S and I got such an excited feeling that I had to pull over, turned off the car, ran to the back and shoved my D*ck in the right tailpipe, and man did that burn. Maybe there should be a warning saying...

Although this is a hole on a very sexy piece... *Warning* DO NOT PENETRATE THIS TAILPIPE FOR IT CAN BE VERY HOT!!!!

No one has to worry about fixing these problems on future models, since this is the last production year anyways...
