Name Something You Discovered About Your F-Type AFTER You Bought it...

It was threshold braking, didn't feel the ABS coming on. No traffic, early Sunday morning in sleepy Holland.
Another time, it was either that or testing out the pedestrian airbags on the temporary citizen/organ donor on the old, slow motorcycle that pulled out in front of me without warning. Indicators are apparently an optional accessory in The Netherlands.
Cheers

This is gonna sound really stupid - and feel free to call me crazy - and it kinda shows you how clueless I might be (about some things). Then again a friend of mine calls me "Bubble Boy" for a reason. [No, not the Seinfeld Bubble Boy].
Last night, and for the first time, I noticed that just after parking my car and removing some groceries from the trunk (no, not my "weekly shop", in spite of my having a coupe) - and I know I have my lights on a delay after parking - that there are two bright lights which illuminate the rear license plate. I suppose most cars have a rear license plate illumination but that's not something I have ever noticed/noted.
And, yes, when I think about it, my other 3 cars also have it - as do ALL cars? - but last night was the very first time I noted it on the F-Type.
Like I said, stupid!
P.S. I think it was the "brightness" of the rear license plate lights which really surprised me.

Also drive a POS that is never title/reg in your name in case leaving it behind was necessary. All of that a piece of cake in the 80s. We weren't living in a surveillance, rat on everyone state.
Probably the only guys nowadays that can have their fun are the 175+ mph superbike crazies who risk being turned into a pink mist if any errors are made.

Early one Sunday morning I was headed to a meet up and was late. I was traveling at about 90 on an almost deserted freeway.
Something passed me (did not have time to tell the type of bike) as if I were parked by the side of the road.
He had to have been doing in the neighborhood of that 175 mph you just mentioned.

The Kawasaki H2 running from the state police on the highway still has to be one of the most entertaining videos .... he warps time and space. Again, something never to be seen on TV.
2:45min mark 'chase' begins. 4:05min mark he literally goes off into another dimension and reality.

I recently picked up the OEM windshield sunscreen found that, although it's custom-fit, does not actually fit very well. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it doesn't sit flush unless you wedge it between the glass and dash to clear the auto-high beam sensor. Once it's in though, it covers nearly every square inch!
