I've learned (in the 17 months I've owned the most loveable car ever made):

1) There are yellow hose thingys running all over the car that operate pneumatic locks.
2) There is an additional electric lock on the roadster's trunk lid that locks ONLY during the 23 seconds the top is going up or down.
3) Only the cars with automatics do that "auto crank" thing.
4) The "autostick" is indeed more than an automatic transmission.
5) The OEM brake pads are $(%#.
6) The throttle reset procedure makes quite a difference (at least it does after running around town for a month.)

7) A Red Roadster will cause 20 year old girls to flirt with you no matter HOW old you are!
