Reply to "COVID BOREDOM = SPEEDSTER PURCHASE"

Hi All - my Speedster was recently delivered and have had it for a few days now (60 miles in).  This thing is such a blast to drive and definitely a head turner.   Slowly getting acclimated to the driving dynamics of this little car.  So far, so good.

A couple of things perhaps you folks can help me point me in the right direction...

1) After a spirited drive, the car emanates some pretty intense engine/gas fumes.  Parking the car in the garage doesn't seem to be a good idea, as I'm airing it out from time to time.  Is this normal?  I checked the fuel tank, vapor line, fuel line and don't see any leaks.  I keep the frunk and trunk lid open sometimes to help it air out.  Is this just an engine break-in period?

2) Attempted to put the top up and i'm about an inch away from snapping it in place. Kept it down for now.

3) Blew a 15A fuse when I switched on the high-beams.  The headlights and retro radio seems to be using the same circuit and somehow overloaded.  I've since replaced the 15A fuse and all is fine so far.  Thoughts?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Below are a couple of photos I took on my short drive. 

cheers
