Coupe vs Roadster

Telephone · 02-26-2013, 06:20 PM

Which would you rather wreck? I rather roll my coupe.

How about just getting an old bar of soap Miata MY 2000 or so. $6-$7K and you have both. There is one in E. Windsor CT.

Now THAT'S an idea except that means that I would have 2 cars I couldn't drive in the snow! BTW....Ziggy, how did you know about E. Windsor?

Hey Ziggy, I checked out that Miata. 91K miles. I wonder why they don't have a pic of it....hmmmm! They're asking a few hundred more than KBB even in excellent condition. Nice idea though! I wonder how it is in snow. I could use that for my DD

I see people driving these with winter tires all the time on 128. I have not driven one in the snow but a couple of sand tubes in the trunk and off you go!

Mental note: avoid driving around Z's in San Diego...prone to flipping. Weird.

my 2 cents its the coupe, just do not think the conv looks right...
now there are other conv that I consider before deciding on the Z.....
But I have always liked the Z coupe through the years

Coupe all day, keep it, hard top > soft top anyday.

You live in Connecticut. I USED to live in Connecticut.

Come on, you know you are going to get dumped on with at least 12" of snow at least one more time!!!!!

Lol......don't burst my bubble! You know how it is here! This time of year we are so sick of snow, we tend to get delusional and think it's going to be 80 degress any day now. I have ex-relatives that now live in AL originally from CT and Maine. They finally got out of Dodge for the warmer weather. Just have to watch out for the tornados in AL. I'm thinking more like Arizona.

350z vert, performance wise, was a POS... The 370z vert is leagues better. That said, I think Z verts in general, look awkward.

After riding motorcycles for 15 years, had to have a roadster...I'm used to parking my toy for 5 months per year...
