Well, just too many good times to ratio any bad ones!!
I do recall a time i pulled up to a Starbucks for some hot Joe! As the car was idling......i noticed this guy and his girl sitting outside on the deck......and he looked over and then did this wave thing....attempts to ward off the fumes and such, as to give me the....'thanks for the smell, now turn the damn thing off' kind of wave! so, to be respectful, I did, without him even noticing that I saw his wave......(well, maybe I did give it one last rev.....at about 3 g's........first!!) His girl was fine, he was the problem, and I knew why! They ended up moving on......bummer, i would have liked a chat with him......and no, nothing I would have said would have been derogatory....more like......sorry for the noise and smell.......it is just a beast sometimes, and wants to eat........PEOPLE!!!!
By the way, on the vandalism thing....after reading Hal Copple's 'ode to a cobra owner'.....i remember the part where he says.....' and you can leave your cell phone and sunglasses right there on the tunnel, and come back and they will be completely undisturbed'.
so, i plan on getting an old phone, old sunglasses, and $10 dollar bill, and leave it byt the shifter up high, and just test the theory, 'cause I truly believe that the respect for these cars is so high that they will not be touched! Will get back and update you.
