You'd think for $130k they could figure out how to put a glass window in the top, though...

That said, I do think the Z8 is one of the most graceful looking convertibles in the last 20 years.

Probably why it costs around $120K
Give George his credit though... he said if it was his money. I know we can all relate to that. I'd picka z8 over S if it was "hey John, which car will you take?" but for the money. Way overpriced.... IMO
