Is owning a roadster worth all the hassles

Findlay · 12-07-2010, 10:51 PM

Love mine - favorite car I've ever owned. One of those cars you park, walk away from, then stop, glance back and just gaze at with a goofy grin. I make up reasons to go out on errands just so I can drive it - then "forget" things so I can go out again. I drive with the top down every single chance I get - day, night, hot, cold, fog, drizzle, whatever. I take the long way everywhere, every time. And as I've said before somewhere on this forum, I tuck it into the garage with more love than my kids get at bedtime.

As my old friend Ferris Bueller once said about another sexy little roadster - "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."

Sounds like you operate the top more than most. Have you seen any signs of the top wear issues with your Roadster yet?

Bought it in March added the intake, FI down pipes, and just before fall added larger sway bars. Tracked it at Z1 Nationals (Bryan Settles my instructor) - Had a BLAST! I weekend drive it on the back roads of Southern Ohio it is everything and more I LOVE IT. Looking for a hard top! That should answer your question! Oh..btw no problems.

I would love to know if you get a hardtop for your car and see some pics of it
