Default Another Rag Top

Well I broke down and bought a BMW 325Ci. It does not have the power that the S does but it's a nice touring vehicle. BMW did a good job of keeping the road noise out of the car even with it being a rag top.

My wife says I now have a vehicle for each mood. S2000 for a frisky mood, BMW for a refined mood, Dodge Ram for a macho mood and a motorcycle for my carefree mood.

Life is good.

You will enjoy the Bimmer. Let me know if it costs you $107.25 to get your own snow tires mounted. UGH! I was surprised at the bill.

For this reason I bought my Blizzaks for the S at Firestone (rather than TireRack). The price includes spring/fall change-over at no cost for 3 seasons. I also bought the life-time alignment from them (yeah, I know...might not meet exact specs ).

I buy my fair weather tires from TireRack....again and again and again but the mounting comes "free" from the snow tires

None that I know of, jrf... I think it highly unlikely.

American Sunroof Corporation used to be the company that made the Celica into a convertible, I believe. I wonder if they're still around and if they would chop an Accord. Maybe.

I didn't need to justify it. All I had to do was put on my pouty face and my wife melted.
