The Miata RF version is a power targa top.

Does the Queen object to targa, T top, and others?
I don't know how to describe the top on a Stag. T top with open back?

Does not like the roll bar look - I offered to take them off of a boxter.
That is a cool car!

wants open air !

I was going to use RuPaul, but.......

She has decreed the following
- that this car will not have a manual top
- that this car will have adequate heat, and would consider a/c a bonus
- that this car should still be unique
- that the budget has increased
- that the car shall not be too masculine (jag, porsche, bmw, muscle, pony, land yacht)

This has eliminated 90% of what we've been talking about.
You all have attempted to garner approval from the Queen with your suggestions,
this will all be considered against your debt (my debt?)

how many 1958 corvettes exist with the power top option?

She finds this appealing. How far from a little MG can ya get? Personally, i don't want the extra 2 seats!

i should have kept bidding on that SL600.
Your queen’s English...try harder! Not even an ‘One’s car shall be...’

Wait a minute, rules change mid-game??? Sounds suspiciously like.... marriage. 😂
I might be retired before you get a car.

One thing: I don't understand how a 'Vette is not masculine but a Jag is? 🤷

when you figure it out, let the rest of us know.

C1&C2 are in play I guess.
her dad was a regional gm sales guy so that feeds into it.

find one of these in red.

she liked Z3/Z4 - so there is a little wiggle

So what is the rough upper end of the budget?

Probably $50k ish, which i will have to work hard to get to.

How about this?


F-yeah. And while you are looking, find the V-12!
oh, wait, this is for her. forgot.

@JerseyPete is back in, British!

If that’s your price range look for a used Vantage. Not something you see every day, and besides being a beauty and quick, also has one of the fastest convertible tops out there. I know it’s sort of a picky thing, but when you’re waiting for your top to go down, a short top down time is nice, but when it starts to rain unexpectedly, a short top up time is essential.
