If your hair style is gelled forward, watch out if the top is down.

 

I am never quite sure what the BFE comment is supposed to be. I am Egyptian, but it seems to only refer to distance...

Anyways, some great comments on here...

spdlmtna... there is a latch in the compartment by your shoulder. Its just above where the trunk release button is.. If you pull the latch you will find 2 additional openings directly under where the wind visor is.. You need all the extra storage space you can get..

 

Yeah, it refers to distance, or that something is in the middle of nowhere. No ethnic/racial slur intended. Just slang here in the U.S.

...and...

The secret compartment is a secret. Shhhhhhhh!
No, actually, if you open the center storage compartment (where the trunk release is) and you just lift up on the under side of the aeroscreen, you'll find a nice surprise.

1) when driving with a hat, the wind tends to blow the brim up, and tries to blow the cap off my head.

 

Here's what I do to discourage someone from ripping a hole in my top to steal stuff:
1. Leave the windows open a few inches. Have a proximity alarm on. The top won't stop them anyway, so the alarm might make them go away (or p*ss them off).
2. Don't keep stuff in the cupholder or glovebox and leave the lids open when I park. There's obviously nothing to get if the compartments are open.
3. Did the trunk release mod so that the power has to be on for the trunk release to work.

Great thread, tp.

As far as driving tips go:

1) Whatever speed you normally drive at when the roads are dry, divide that by 2 when the roads are wet. For turns, divide by 3. This car, being RWD, spins out all too easily. Trust me on this...or just do a search for "spin."

2) Never use your cruise control in the rain. Click HERE.

3) Don't bounce the rev limiter, esp if you have neck probs.

4) Don't try to enter VTEC before your temp gauge hits 3 bars (see tip 3, above).

Storage tips:

1) As others have said, keep a flashlight and towel in your car at all times. They come in awfully handy when you least expect it.

2) I keep a Kangol under my driver's seat for those times when I'm out with the top down and forget my BB cap. Preserves the "good hair" day. Also guaranteed to NEVER fly off...even at speeds in xcess of 100 MPH. (Don't ask me how I know.)

Misc tips:

1) Always drive alone. Passengers will just do sh*t to your car that annoys you (like talk to you or slam the door).

2) Don't drink & drive. Bad sh*t happens.

I'll post more as it comes to me...

 

Don't let people close the door by the window! I don't know about you, but it makes me lose my temper.

 

It IS as in city, then country. And it starts with Bum as it's Victorian British slang.

Apparently the End of the Line, railway-wise and career-wise, was once a town that started with "Bam" and had a lot of Fs anf Qs... so, with the English fondness for rhyming slang (not to mention other practices, it gained wide use for "the toolies" (it's Okie equivalent).

BTW, di y'all know that use of the F word as an adjective was unkown in America before doughboys heard Ausssies using it that way in WWI?
