Look at the bright side: you are not her significant other. Pity him!

That is usually the min temp range for me to put the top down. It's not bad as long as it's not windy outside.

That is within the range of my ideal top down temps, 50-75.

Car has a heater, and I have one of those things called a jacket, plus a hat, so...

Through no fault of my own, I was running late. Still a few minutes from work, and I had to run a conference call. So I pull over, log on via phone, earphones in, call started, people still joining, so I start to pull back onto freeway. Just then an 18 wheeler changes lanes into right lane. So now I'm redlining up through several gears to avoid being crushed.

Coworker on the call says, 'So, um, are you on a racetrack right now?' Everyone laughs and several say they were thinking the same thing.

Going through a drive thru: "woah, I love s2000s, It's a v8, right?".
At a stop light: "S2000s are slow".
At a parking lot: "an s2000?!?, isn't this car old?".

I was visiting my parents the other day and as I was parking there was a couple kids outside playing football (probably 13 years old).

When I drove by them one kid yells "WOAH, THATS A HONDA???"

I started laughing and smiling..

Then I hear "HOLY CRAP GUYS, THAT IS A HONDA!!! NICE CAR DUDE!"

It made my day! haha

I was driving up the PCH to Long Beach the other day, sitting in traffic at a red light.

A visibly drunk redneck-type dude with his windows rolled down starts slowly passing everyone else on the shoulder in his truck while yell-singing along to whatever was on his radio.

We had the top and windows down, so he looks over and slurs out a "HEY NICE MIATA, BROOOO!".

Before we could even yell back, he ends up slamming into a curb which probably broke a control arm because as we drove off, his front passenger wheel was perpendicular to the rest lol.
