Ha ha you (Fiat218) must not have had the pleasure of knowing a woman who appreciates the beauty of originality and old school CLASS. When I put on my big sunglasses, scarf, sundress with only a bikini underneath and head down to the beach for the day with the only thought in my head is "I am Audrey"... or Raquel.... or Bridgette. It feels pretty damn good. And to think I bought this vehicle myself 8 years ago and have had that feeling every single time I drive it is indescribable. Not to mention there's always been something about the classic convertible that makes every element of driving an even more mind numbing experience. Yes, it's great to have the wind blowing in your hair while cruising on the water but the combination of hearing the engine ( not to mention the new muffler system installed) and the purity of the moment is something all driving enthusiasts understand. I drive....others ride.

I know two locally and several more around the US. So it's not uncommon

I'm happy to report my head is in the loving hands of Beek. Thanks to everyone for all the advice.
