Yep. Be nice if it cleared itself up. 

Thats far from a desirable Eclipse model, but it might actually work for what I’m looking to do..  please tell OP to reach out when he’s ready to sell.  I’m down in Albuquerque but that’s an easy jaunt North and there are still a few weeks of good weather.

This is a job for the Saab 9-3. FWD, cheap to buy, lots of GM parts- somewhere between $5-10K gets you some extra cash for repairs.

I had an Alfa 4C roadster for a week to review, and this is definitely an issue. Climbing into that car was always risking smacking my noggin on the windshield header.

Gotta agree with the other early commenters, the lady is at fault. Ignorance is no excuse and if someone hit my car, I’d want them to pay something too. The ticket may be a bit much, but it is still cheaper than painting a bumper or hitting someone in the car wash. My mother is 77 and her driving is starting to really…

Unless it was Jo(h)n Voight’s car, no deal.

The fuck does this have to do with politics?  A careless driving ticket is certainly warranted, because she was driving, carelessly, but this has fuck all to do with left or right.  Pull your head out of Trump’s ass and start using it to think.

Oh yeah man, I’m constantly wading through articles about how the state should nationalize everything and anarchism should reign. Dolt.

Mechanics only see broken cars. I have a friend with one, it’s been bulletproof for a couple of decades now. Not exciting in any way, and RWD so doesn’t fit the guys desires anyway.

We had an ‘07 Solara for several years that was fugly and drove like a pig but was perfect for the intended mission. Bullet proof reliability and the back seat is dramatically bigger than any other real competitor’s back seat.  And yeah, the trunk is huge.  There’s nothing better than a convertible road trip and the…

LOL - Tom went with exactly my first thought, the Camry Solara. Legions of women of a certain age in God’s Waiting Room, FL can’t all be wrong.

As someone who thinks the cops are douchy, out-of-control fuckwads most of the time... what the fuck is this bullshit article. She hit a cop car. She got a ticket. Seems pretty fucking straightforward to me. Don't wanna get a careless driving ticket? Don't run into someone else's car. And WTF is this "I don't think I…

Why would you NOT write a ticket in that situation? Running into the back of another car is the definition of careless driving. What if she had run over a worker at the car wash instead of just running into another car?

A perfect use case for the ‘11-14 Nissan Murano Cross-Cabriolet. $10k all day, low miles, since they were all babied. AWD. VQ engine. Comfy.  It’s perfect.

This inquirer is just crying for a Nissan Murano CrossCabrio.

Woah, I was today-years-old when I found out these had AJ35 motors in them. Good to know I have another reason to laugh whenever I see one.

Someone starred the comment, elevating it to “ungreyed”. My comments for the last two days have all posted as Pending aka greyed.

If we’re suggesting Infinity G35s, I’m going to one-up that and say Lexus IS 350C.  A fun, reliable convertible with a big trunk and hardtop for cold days and long trips.  It’ll outlive you and people won’t lump you in with Altimas.

Draw a Venn digram of all those things — comfort, safety, FWD, mature, under $15K, reasonable maintenance, Colorado-climate friendly, good road-tripper — and you’ll see this baby right dead set in the middle:

It’ll be difficult with the budget, but if you can stretch a bit, a 2016 or later Mini Convertible is pretty reliable.
