So Why a Roadster?

Had a lot of people ask us this question recently. We've had the car less than a week, but already have the answer. Since a picture's worth a thousand words, here's ours -- would love to see yours, too!

That certainly says it all. I keep telling my wife all the places we will go WHEN we get ours!

Thanks for posting.

Yes, it is a gorgeous car indeed. For me, you would have to spend $50K+ to get more of a true driver's car - it's cousin the Z4 or a Boxster possibly. Brilliant handling for an open top car.

That's exactly how we felt, an extravagance, but affordable!
