It wasn't road rage, not at all, when I passed him (at a reasonable rate of speed) I looked over and mouthed something nasty to him.
So it was mouth rage!! But believe me he could read my lips. It was only 3 words.
Oh!

Good one.

The sun visors threw me as well.

As a general rule I park with the top up, windows up, and doors locked. If I'm going to be quick and the area is a little shaky, I just put up the windows to prevent some kid from reaching in trying to quickly unscrew the shift knob.

OK. Now I AM confused. What is the logic behind that action?





Rolling up the windows makes it harder to reach in and take anything (radar detector, etc.) and I flip down the visors so the garage door opener is harder to reach.

Silly maybe, but it makes me feel better.

Well thanks Go for explaining the visor thing to me. That one had me stumped. Don't think the clip on the other side would give it away?

They have to be talking about joy ride theft as there is not a huge market for S2000 parts compared to a Camry or a Civic.

Yeah, it gives it away, but the windows just make it a little harder to reach.

You need to remember, I don't leave the car alone outside very often. You can count on two hands the amount of night Stiletto has had to sleep outside in the 5 1/2 years I have had her. 5 of those nights were with the other 20 S2000's at SacS2KDays over the past 5 years in Reno.

Guess I'd better beat Jonas to the punch. He had to show me out how to open my trunk from inside the car because I'd forgotten....but at least I'd only had it a month or so. Poor granny!

So no one took your trunk...... that's good granny. With all those cars to chose from, I think I grab the candy apple one or one second thought, the $50k one as Lainey describe it.
