Why not. It's slow anyway, so you might as well dress blandly, put the top down, play something mild at a reasonable volume, and enjoy the inattention you get.
@Frank Grimes: That is hilarious. It should come with different hairstyles that you can zip in. That way you can be Biff one day (as shown), Bob Marley the next, then Marge Simpson, then Snoop Dogg, all while keeping the sun out of your eyes!
@A strolling player:
Assuming the owner was close enough to the car that the proximity key was still active, and the owner hadn't properly shut the car off, the next question is how does the dog take it from not moving to moving?
Anybody know how the shift interlock works? Does the brake need to be depressed to get the car out of park, or to get it into drive?
If the car was "active" in neutral and then bumped into drive, would that do it?

@bugattatra - cars rule everything around me, CREAM:
Check out that Stetson. I think he's the player hatter, no?

@KRayGolf: Amen to that. Keying is a total loser move. Your problem is with the owner, not the car. Wait for the owner and sort it out.
@Bentoboxx, My Tank is full of it:
No, the jerk here is the one that made the spaces too small. Even with a tiny car you would have trouble opening the doors. Are these Kei car spaces?

@Turbolence88: BS on the motion sensor. I surf from the train.
On the Long Island Expressway, people slow down right before the tops of hills. Someone once commented to me "It's as if they think there's no road on the other side of the hill".
Shortly after hearing this, I was driving said highway, crested a hill, and there was no available road...
That was a high adrenaline moment.

Damn old people. Get off my sidewalk!

@Triborough: What people don't get about Top Gear is that it's more about Clarkson, May and Hammond than it is about cars. Making an American Top Gear makes as much sense as making a British Seinfeld.
@HoonThatFerrari-isNowHooning a Maserati:
Those marks are clearly from trying to move it while it was flipped over for service.

Anyone notice the crowd that had gathered? We don't know the before story. If the cops gave them the obligatory " knock it off" speech, and they did another run,it's pretty easy to see getting cuffed as the next step.
@vavon205: Generally I'm just happy if my passenger knows what I'm doing.
Sharing the oil is revolutionary, but have you driven a classic Mini? With a good strong motor they vacillate between crazy, brilliant, and torturous!
What's up with the Hamsters? Spit out my post!
When I'm in the car, I will occasionally stop talking to a passenger mid sentence to roll down the window and listen to a nearby vehicle.

-If you just wait for me to come back to the conversation, 0 points
-If you say "Gee, that sounded kinda cool", +100 points
-If you say "Damn, I love the sound of those old minis", +500 points
-If you say "I love the click of those Desmos, but I think his valve lash is a little loose" as an old Ducati goes by, +1000 points.
@MushyHeirloom: if I'd had a welder, I might have done the same.
Either that, or trade the welder for a better car!
@Baby beater Benz: Couldn't agree more. In this price range, what it's been through matters as much or more than what it is.
@Madness: Agreed. The Camaro and Challenger guys drove like they were scared of their cars.
@Baby beater Benz: That's not rust. Rust is when you can put your fist through in multiple areas.
I was once offered a free Subaru wagon. Nothing electrical worked in the back half of the car because it wasn't grounded. Now that's rust!
I passed on it. The rotted unibody reinforced with structural steel and radial arm saw blades was a bit of a turn off.
