Here goes...

Been reading the posts for awhile, so I guess it's time to get started... We live in Vero Beach, FL, and had some business to do in West Palm. We'd been thinking about a second car to augment our '02 Ford Explorer. Went to Braman and drove an '07 chili red covert. Nice....kind of reminded me of my old '84 BMW 318i....tall gears, but not too peppy. Avoided commitment and drive back to Vero. Talked to a fellow up here who's on his second cabrio and he convinced me to drive the S. So at the end of May, we became owners of an S cabrio, chili red, black leatherette, Sports package, PDC...

Decided to take a road trip in July to visit family in Atlanta and St. Louis. While we were in St. Louis we visited Mini of St. Louis and bought an '07 R56, mellow yellow, black top black bonnet stripes, sport package, rear fog lamp.

Is there a cure for this? Anyone interested in an '02 Explorer?

Nope, there is no cure. Once in your blood it stays....
