I wish Honda would have put just a little more money in the 04 and made an automatic boot like everyone else. Or at the minimum, make the top fold like the Z4 so the top becomes the boot.

My cover and dining room table extension are happily living under my guest bed. The only thing that stopped me from selling mine is the hunch that when I sell the car I will have to buy another to make the buyer happy.

I'm the exact opposite. I wish they'd stop softening it and adding stuff that really doesn't need to be there. I'd actually be ok with a manual top if it cut 50 lbs.

Whole bunch of pictures of a car with the cover on and off here:

I've never used mine once! It lives underneath my bed.

It's OK to be anal about your car. Really. But at least use excuses that make some sense . This stuff about the "wind" beating the crap out of the top when it's down is pretty funny. The wind does absolutely nothing to the top when it's down. What are you people doing? Driving around with the top half way down? When it's retracted all the way it's neatly (and tightly) folded down on top of itself in a hole. It does not bounce, flap or in any other way move about. The wind has no effect on it. The only thing the cover does is keep dust off, for the most part, the top fold (not even the window). Some of us even think the S looks better without it because it sticks up so far and messes up the lines of the car. Every time I see an S with the cover on it makes me think about those big ol' thick foam neck braces whiplash victims wear 
.
Having owned a couple manual top roadsters in the past (and as someone who puts the top up and down all the time), I will however stick up for the electric top

Mine is also still in the plastic bag that it came in, and is currently taking up space in my closet
