Things to do with a Roadster

[NigelM]

Seeing as we have the thread "Things not to do with a Roadster", I figured we should start this one of "Things to do with a Roadster". Here's my first contribution:

Take your 7-year-old daughter for a ride and have her tell you you're the coolest dad in the world.

Listen to music with max loudness to tell everyone you are on the way. Because the engine won't.
Make sure you listen to "theme related" songs as this
DJ Digress - Electro Shock
and this
Klubbhoppers - Electronic Life
one.

Find yourself at a stoplight next to a Ferrari.

I just did a little google study on Porsche and Ferrari 0-60 times and man, I'm amazed at how many models we can beat. Driving those manual shift cars takes a lot of skill... Not many drivers of either of those brands could beat a Tesla Roadster Sport in any year or model. I remember thinking my little '99 Z3 felt quick. Yeah right... 5.2s at best. Get along little doggies.

Smile every time you pass a gas station.

I for one will miss gas stations when they're gone. They have these incredibly handy window washers just sitting there for free!

Go to a car show and give people rides.


Find that perfect twisty mountain road on a perfect day.

Cruise the beach/coast road with the top open and actually hear the ocean waves.

I'm kind of bummed out...the gas station that I used to frequent (pre Roadster) now charges to use the air pump!...I think they're doing that just to get back at me...:biggrin:

Guess I'll get a home compressor...

Go inside the store and ask them if they can turn it on for you. Quite often they can, and will.

In California it is the law. (They just don;t tell you).

 

[Jaff]

Not sure what you mean asking them to turn it on...it's one of those blasted coin operated gizmos...

They have a manual override switch in the building. One of them near me when you ask they pull out a radio remote control and point it at the machine to turn it on.

Thanks V, I didn't know this!

 

[Doug_G]

Yeah I found this out one day when I didn't have change for the fool thing. Went inside and asked for change, and they just pushed a button and said "there you go!"

 

[Jaff]

Well I'm going to try this out Doug...I figger they owe me a bit after 4 years of putting V-Power in my Lexus...:wink:

I guess thread integrity goes out the window when someone mentions gas stations? :wink:
