It looks like something California Custom Convertibles or Straman would’ve done back in the day - which may very well be the case. Only two owners from new, I wouldn’t be surprised if the first one had the conversion done in period.

IN my mind I hear it in David Schwimmer’s voice. “We were on a break!”

I went NP because it falls into the “nice-ish” price category. It’s not egregiously overpriced, and I’d bet you could get the price down a bit if you flashed cash.

I consider McDonald’s “acceptable”, in that I know what I’ll get when I eat there (Subway, BK, and Wendy’s fall into this category, and I refuse to eat at Taco Bell). I stop there on road trips when I need to eat and I have to get back on the road. I eat there in a strange town when it’s late and I don’t have the time…

I remember it - IIRC, Obama and Biden “went out for lunch” to a burger place near the White House, and I saw a couple of reports about it (because let’s face it, a President turning up at a fast food place is interesting), and all of them talked about his order.

Quite right - my father had a ‘67 MGB, and it was Iris Blue (which is a powder blue, very light)- this was a particularly unusual color at the time, and I think I’ve seen one in person (though it featured on the cover of the brochure and in advertisements). Similarly, I have a 70's Porsche brochure, and the car on the…

He lives in Michigan and is worried about rust.

I don’t even need to finish reading to tell you that you need to get that nice one in the Craigslist article you wrote earlier, transfer the lift and wheels to it (and any other stuff you did to PSW), and send it to the scrapper.

I know a guy with a 911 Cabrio in this color - I recall he didn’t particularly like it but it’s grown on him, probably because of it’s rarity and the fact that it’s on a perfect 911 ragtop.

It came to mind because I know a guy who has a 911 cabrio in this color with a purple-ish leather interior and soft top. (Car is a Carrera but with the Turbo appearance package, which included the wider fenders, whale tail, and uprated suspension. Apparently his is one of two made in that color for that year). Anyway,…

You need to wave to the right people. Someone with a hardtop on in the summer with lowered suspension will probably notice - they’re an enthusiast. An old guy taking his wife out for dinner won’t - he bought the car because he wanted something fun to take to work on casual Fridays and wouldn’t notice another one if it…

Shouldn’t. I’m sure it varies state by state but you can usually alert the DMV to a color change (I’d wait till renewal time, mainly because I can’t even find the info on the IL DMV website). The VIN is keyed to the car itself, and if you’ve got the registration papers and stuff it shouldn’t be an issue if you get…

Who says he’s painting it a different factory color? I’d like to repaint my car, which is black, but it’s not going to change to the factory silver, it’s going BRG, which wasn’t available in any way.

You obviously didn’t get my meaning - I find more and more that the guy who says “nice NC” or whatever wants to get on a pissing match about how much they know. IOW they want to lecture me about my own car. I find that incredibly annoying.

For real, you should go get that blue One just so you can get around. Ditch one of the broken ones. Plus I ge inevitable breakdown riddled drive home from Colorado will make a good story!

I didn’t realize that the liquor section of, say, Byerly’s was considered a completely different store-I assumed the register there was for convenience. This makes the separate Cub Foods liquor store near my sisters place make more sense, though.

Local and state liquor laws always baffle me, because there’s really no reason for it to be different in every single state or county. There was a town near here that had weird laws, in that it limited alcohol sales in restaurants and bars between certain hours, but allowed beer and wine to be sold during those hours,…

Grocery stores aren’t open on Sundays up there? Liquor stores I can kind of understand (it’s a common enough rule) but grocery stores would probably do decent business - they do down here in Illinois.

Watch, it’ll turn out he’s an orthopedic surgeon or owns his own dog chew toy company or something!

Honestly, though, if I had a 993 and people kept saying “nice 993" to me I’d probably get annoyed with it as well (though I wouldn’t correct people on it). My experience is that these guys, who always refer to every BMW by the chassis code or insist on calling my MX-5 an “NC”, are really eager to show off how much…
