Default What's your s2000 tick?

I always open my doors to roll up the windows. Guess i just want to save the window motor that little bit of stress LOL.

You know you have something you do as well to pamper your S that other people would look at you like . What is it?

Interesting topic...

1. If I have the glovebox locked, but the engine is on, I will wait until later when the car is off to retreive whatever I need in there.
2. I try to wash everything when I was the car (exhaust tips, gauge cluster, inside gas cap area, etc).
3. I have never used the key to open the door/trunk in the off chance I might scratch it. In the 1+ year I've owned it, I've always used the button.
4. I tell whoever is closing the door to either touch the window, or the black window sill area (not the paint)
5. I put the passenger floor mat OVER the hump because no matter what, people always step on it.
6. I don't flash my headlights because I think it's gonna wear out my headlights faster
7. I use my wipers as sparingly as possible because I don't want to wear out the wipers or the wiper motor.
8. Before I had my hardtop, I would never use the top if my driving time was less than 30 minutes.
9. When I operated the top, I would always do it slowly (sometimes back and forth) so that it sits perfectly folded. Sometimes I'll manually push that bar back too (even though my car is nearly brand new).

There's probably a ton more, but I'm at work and have to at least make it LOOK like I'm busy.

1. If i'm going from a stop or about to do a hard run i always turn the A/C off. (for some reason i need more clutch slip when the A/C is on)
2. I try to always park in BFE or between 2 really nice vehicles
3. I tell everybody not to rest their foot on the hump.
4. I always put my keys in the hand that does not touch the door when i'm getting out.
5. I've never used the keys to open anything, always the keyfob.
6. I always dust off the top (California duster) before i put it down.

1) I always park in the far right space as close to the curb as possible or I park far away.
2) I only park in street spaces that are marked/divided or in spaces between driveways. I won't park in a group of cars on the street in case someone hits my car.
3) Since I use a two level hydraulic lift, I always lower the S back into the ground.
4) I never use the key, except for the ignition.

Man...this is going to show all those with OCD.

Only tick I have is to shake the gear shift lever back and forth in neutral just to verify it is in fact in neutral.

I do this too, I think it comes from driving different cars all the time.

And also drive multiple cars like the other poster mentioned.
