Since this thread was bumped and some folks were really concerned about my car choice...Im ditching the idea of a hardtop convert for the time being. I have my eye on a Camero in Charlotte.

Its a pure redneck ride but this one has an interesting pedigree from Canada and its current owner "drives it like he stole it."

the camaros in recent memory were made in a plant in canada... amusing because the comercials for them had a tag line of "from the country that invented rock and roll"

it isn't a hard top, but as most of you know my truck is on it's last leg

I am thinking about one of these:



I have always loved the Z3, in fact it is probably my favorite sports car that has ever been....

I still love my Wrangler! One of the few convertibles that will make it to my house (and back out again).

OK, since you seem to know a bit about cars

1. Does the air go out of the tires when it gets cold? Seems when I start my car they are 25psi when they've been 31psi forever. Sometimes they'll get up to 29 or so if I drive down the interstate a bit, but I can never get them to 31psi which keeps the damn alarm keep popping up.
2. The other night "Service 4WD System" popped up for about 5 seconds. I was going about 70mph and haven't even used the 4WD system in this car in months.

Now you know why I try to get rid of cars before the warranties are up

its in great shape. I didn't really examine it too close. I was too busy driving it like I stole it.
cars are so much more fun to drive that way.

next trip I do plan to see how many cans of spam it will hold.

they saythe ones from canada are canspam compliant.
