For those not on Eastern Tiem, if your read this in time, the stook and other convertibles are featured on the Today Show (NBC). They came on about 8:45-8:50 am Eastern Time, so make the appropriate adjustemnt and watch. And for those who like to derive equations, I came up with the definitive basic form, S2000+You=Fun.

Did they have them outside? I could possibly take a walk over and snap some pictures if they are still there.

Yeah, they were outside by Rockefeller center. The guy from the WSJ said the S2000 was a race car disguised as a street car.

Yeah, that was pretty cool. They showed the engine start button and he talked about the 9000 rpm redline and stuff. He seemed to have some idea of what the car was about. Of course, he said that it costs $35-36k, right before it read $32,300 on the bottom of the screen.

He didn't seem very accurate on the costs of any of the cars, quoted several thousand more than what it said at the bottom of the screen.

Did you actually expect a reporter to be accurate? I wonder if he will watch his segment later and see what an idiot he looked like though.

Katie didn't seem to like the S...

She was hot for the Z3 (who cares what the engine is...) or the T-bird.

Actually, the T-bird looks kind of cool to me, although sounds like a non-performer.

Thanks for the tip.
