Turned down our street the other day and I see coming around the corner the mosquito fog truck coming at me. I pretty much did a donut in the street and pulled in to a parking lot while putting the top up before he got to me w/ the fog. From the look on his face he thought it was funny as hell.

(for those of you in parts of the country where the little bastards aren't so much of a nusiance we have trucks sprayers in the back that go through the neiborhoods spraying to kill off mosquitos every couple of weeks.)

[QUOTE=SVT_Chia,Aug 31 2004, 04:30 AM] my most unexpected top down experience is that people actually look at me and check out my car!

Hrrrm. Two incidents:

First, was driving the car top-down when it was less than a week old. Kids on the side of the street were messing with a sprinkler head that was busted. Water was shooting 20+ ft in the air. As I was driving down the street, the kids move the water stream to hit my lane. I do a quick lane check and swerve away from the water. All I could hear was a loud "Awwwwww....." as I passed by.

Second was more pleasant. Driving home another day, another S2000 drives up in the next lane and the passenger window goes down. Out pops an attractive, well-stacked asian lady who enthusiastically waves at me (or the car, I guess). It made my day, but annoyed my wife in my passenger seat. After I pulled away from the light, all she could say to me was "get that grin off of your face!"

Late one night my wife and I are sitting at a stop light with the top down. Three Hot girls about half my age come out of the bar and say, nice car will you take us for a ride? My wife gave me a very unique look, and I said "I don't know, you'll have to ask my wife" The girls giggled and we went on our way.

Another time my wife was in little caesars picking up some pizza, while I waited in the car listening to some Robert Cray (Blues). A group of teenagers walk in about 45 seconds after her and while in line commented on the old fart in the S. They said he was too old for that car and would bet he never drives it fast. They thought that they should own that car and not some old fuddy duddy. So my wife while listing to all of this, turns around and says, Thats my husband and he'll run you boys at any local track, If you boys want to lose some money. Dead silence after that, she said it felt great



LOVE this darn car and my wife of 21 years

Oh! and lets not forget the six rugrats

Outerbanks Run 2003...the group is making our way down to Cape Hatteras. It was overcast and had rained heavily earlier in the day. Airgate is leading the group, W1ngman next, and I was behind him. All of the sudden a dump truck going in the opposite direction hits a huge puddle and sends a tidal wave into our lane. Next thing I know W1ngman is laughing over the radio before the water had finished landing on everyone. It really caught us by surprise.

You mean you don't ALWAYS have a grin on your face when you're driving?
