As I had anticipated, most would not have too much hesitation to provide rides of our beloved S, esp to the attractive females

However, the reason I presented this question is to address the possibility (although slight) that one of these people you give a ride to may have a devious motive such as accussing you of sexual impropiety, even though it never happened (ie.you are innocent). This can lead to blackmail or having the hassle of addressing this issue in a court of law.

I know, this is very unlikely to happen but in our litigatious (sp?) society, you never know who is psycho out there. With over 20,000 S owners out there giving rides, someone is bound to come across one of these individuals.

This was just food for thought.

Just interested in the logistics of how to commit a sexual impropriety in an S2000. Show the judge the car and he'll know it didn't happen...

Hmmmm - interesting. Cabin's too snug and of course you couldn't use the bonnet or it will dent.

I'm somewhat bummed, because I can't use my car on youth group outings. I look after some teenagers from my church. There are plenty of kids who'd love to go for a spin in my car, but unfortunately, child protection guidelines don't let me take an under 18 year old out on my own, and it's kind of hard to get another leader in the boot. They're just not crash hot on the idea.

I suppose the other thing, is, as a leader, I'm expected to drive kids around, especially since we're usually short drivers... using one driver to cart one kid around isn't exactly efficient use of drivers.

I was about to pick up a hitchhiker once. I stopped and thought, this might not be a good idea. She was a girl standing on the side of the road in a tiny skirt, a top that wasn't much more than a bra, and that was about it... Kind of looks like I'm picking up a hooker.

As for accusations of sexual impropiety, well let's just say that 9 out of 10 rapists get off, because of lack of evidence, and that's when a rape did happen. If a rape never happened, then their chances of getting anything to stick, is close to nothing.

a real man doesn't go and pick up hoes in his S2000, a real man drives home in his S2000 and has a wife to take care of.

I don't let strangers drive it, but I will give them a ride if i have the time. As for girls. I will make time for them. The only advice i have is to not let a stripper you "know" drive it. They just might back it up into a poll. LoL



I won't name names, but he knows it all in good fun!!

Im very strict about letting people drive this car(once let a hot girl drive my explorer-she hit a truck). As far as rides, ill take friends out, and hot sorority girls haha. But honesty alot of people I know say they are too afraid to drive it? I guess more people than you think have respect for other peoples property.
