I think the Roadster looks great, top-down. UP, not so much, but then again I feel that way about most rag tops. I wish it had been offered with a removable hardtop. At least a dozen people have asked me if the top on my Coupe is removable.

Coonanner evidently has a criteria that every car must be eminently practical and not pointless. Though I've found the car to be more than adequate for my needs. It's not like I need to daily haul around lumber or steamer trucks. I could rent a van if I needed that.

From what I'm hearing you have until April this year to build a new one.

On a car site that features impractical cars of all kinds (and that's great!) I still fail to get the "less practical" dig. Guess what, I didn't buy mine for practicality and in any case, everything I need to haul on a daily basis fits in there just fine. Including large dogs.

I don't even wear hats!

The space were the tire is stored in non-S versions is partly occupied by the center exhaust in the S and JCW versions. Part of the structure that actually holds the…

I'm just outside of Philadelphia, USA and in my little town and in the neighboring one literally across the river, there are small, unattended fruit and vegetable stands left out for hours (EDIT picture doesn't want to post??):

I'd rather have the stock Fiero than drive around in this fake, no matter how good it looks on the outside.

I use the free Pandora (rarely, at home) but when I am driving, it's my purchased music on my iPhone hooked up via the AUX input in the MINI. For some reason, there is bluetooth connection to make calls with the phone but not to transmit any other audio, like music, so that's out. I can also play music from a tiny…

Add the oldest steel-hulled warship afloat in the world, the ex-USS Olympia, to your list if you haven't already. Olympia, a protected cruiser, was built at Union Iron Works in San Francisco, CA and commissioned in 1895. The ship is a unique design, the only ship of her class. She was the fastest cruiser built at…

I can't imagine buying a game these days without doing basic research for reviews and the like. Hell, I check reviews for just about everything I buy online.
