I wish I had seen this one when I bought the car and before I decided to be cool and lean on the rear fender while talking to a lady. I don't think the sound of my fender popping impressed her as much as I'd hoped

I just read this entire thread and it is very helpful. I switched the garage door opener to behind the elsatic, and got rid of some crappy cd's so the rest could slide under the passenger's seat. I always keep a microfiber towel in my glovebox to get rid of that annoying dust.


and use the remote unlock / trunk release. those paint chips by the keyhole are just annoying

 

I found that a $5 Wal-Mart bungee net (the motorcycle kind) works well on the underside of the trunk lid as cheap organizer for stuff you don't want rolling around. The one I have has plastic hooks that you can take off and reposition to anywhere on the net.

 

I hadn't thought of that. I put my driver window up about an inch or so and that stops the vibration. I actually thought it was the boot, not the strap, but now that you say that, the strap makes more sense.

 

Get some of those floormats that they use at the dealership so when it rains you can just throw one in before you get in. Thats inportant for me because at my school we still have rock salt down from the winder that will get in your car when your feet are wet. they fit perfectly in the trunk tool well.

Another thing I do befor I get out of my car for work is take my faceplate out, leave the radio door open, Open the glove compartment to show that there's nothing in my car to steal. You can put your h/u in the secrete compartment witch unless there a pro at s2000's the thieves may not know about. Hell a ton of people on here that own an s2000 don

 

This one works in any car, especially those with stiff suspensions. Cargo pants with the pockets on the legs to hold your wallet so you don't have to sit on it.

 

^ I put my wallet under the elastic band in the glove box.

 

For youy dirty-handed folks who just had to change a tire or fix an engine component, throw some latex gloves in the tool kit to keep your hands dry and dirt free (I take them from the doctor's office during visits). Also, keep a couple large Hefty bags to roll the tires into before you throw them into the trunk.

A travel pack of duct tape can fix leaky/punctured hoses or broken clips.

Keep the batteries to your flashlight taped to its outside, not in it. Keeps the thing from getting inadvertantly turned on and running the batteries dead.

Check your spare tire pressure every season - no sense in having two flat tires.

I also keep a cap under my seat, and an extra set of sunglasses in the secret compartment. Same with some spf30 in the center console.

If you have to get towed, make sure you use the screw-in tow hooks - don't let Johnny Towmater try and maul the car onto his flatbed. Don't lose the bumper cover either. Oh yeah, ONLY tow on a flatbed.

Keep a couple maps in the trunk - regional, state, city, just in case.

Towel is good idea - wipe up any rain, bird crap, etc that falls into an open car.

 

good idea, until of course a young lady tries to use the center console as support for getting in and breaks off the compartment door... make sure u give them a heads up first... still hasnt been fixed
