ORIGINAL: rustysi OK, this thread is getting too quiet, and its fallen to page two. Time to change it up. So, in my retirement I've been looking to get some new toys to play with, and to accompany me on my hoped for travels. One obvious thing is a car, and I've started going around to showrooms. I'd like to add that what I'm looking for is something not very practical, and within a certain price range. First up, Alfa Romeo 4c. Well it originally fit my price range (just), but it appears that has changed. At any rate the car is totally impractical for my purposes. All you can 'carry' in the thing is about the size of an overnight bag. I need a bit more if I intend to roam the country. The front hood of the car is not even to be opened by the owner, only available to the dealer. I will congratulate our Italian friends though, you make some beautiful cars!!![&o] [&o][&o] Well around these parts auto dealers tend to be clumped together, down the block Mazda. The MX-5 RF, nice. Fits the budget nicely and is no slouch vehicle either. I mean 180+ HP in a 2400 lb car, should have a bit of giddy-up. All I had time for the other day. The search will however continue, and I have some other things to take care of before I take the final plunge. BTW, if any of you have suggestions I would like to hear them (careful[:D]). All reasonable ones will be considered.[:)] I had an MX 5. I loved it. I just traded it in on something that would go in the snow. MX 5s do not do well in snow, as they have so much horsepower compared to weight. But they do go like mad in the summer! It was fun to drive!
