2) If you forget to latch your top down and end up on the freeway at 80mph, the top will start to rise up because of the wind. You've got about 1 sec to grab the center handhold and yank that sucker down....or it's bye bye top. oh yeah...work out your right arm for this.



if u forget to latch your top... just driving around at slow speeds you should be able to hear the top hitting the front window frame..

I replaced my stock antennae with the xm radio antennae. It seems here the s2000's, 350z's, and other cars play musical chairs with these antennaes. If somebody steals theirs, they take somebody elses and so forth. So i don't feel like paying 25 dollars everytime somebody takes my antennae. Plus i don't get too many commercials and digital music : P

Holy crap, there's my old user name, I could have sworn I was already registered here.

(It's Adam7, I had the tip about putting your grocery discount / AAA / video rental / whatever cards in the radio door.)

Some good tips. Here's my contribution, buy a pack of flat wet wipes (Wal Mart) and put it into the netting in the passenger footwell, fits perfectly! Also a small foldable umbrella will fit between the seat and the door.

i find that the best way to park oon a hill is to hold in the clutch pull the e brake, take foot off brake so it rolls forward to where it stops by the power of the ebrake, and the let the clutch out.

that way the weight of the car is on the e brake, not the drivetrain. and incase the e brake slips, the drivetrain will catch it. oh and curb the wheels just in case
