When the cute barrista comes out of the drive through because you are so low below the window and she LOVES your car because her Dad used to have one. Hey no creepy here, married to a built in Fiat Spider lover because she is actually 100% Italian.

So I'm watching this cute little movie called "Little Manhattan" that I recorded off HBO or one of them. Made in 2005 and the setting is then contemporary NYC. Near the end of the movie there is a long shot across a busy street, maybe 57th St., focused on a hotel or apartment entrance. Actual traffic is passing by in the middle ground, mostly yellow taxis of course. I spot a red blur and immediately pause and backtrack a few frames and freeze the shot. Sure enough it a Spider with the top up. Just maybe 10 frames or so. I'm willing to bet I'm the only one in the world to have ever spotted it.

What the heck was he doing there? I wonder if he still owns that car.

your horn leaks oil
the horn compessor is essentially an air motor and requires lube just like any air tool.
