It seems like that would have driven you nuts. Like I said in the snipped part of my post, differing opinions are good. That hardtop could take twice as long to raise and lower as it does and I would still take it over the ragtop. Pat |

I was sorry when she passed away, she was a nice lady and I always thought well of her. Sorry you didn't have one like mine... |

That may be one of them. I hope not..... > OK, I got along very well with my ex-mother in law (and ex father in > law also), better than I did with my ex wife!

Well, they obviously did not teach you any compassion for others like myself. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go worship the porcelain God again. ;-) Pat |

Thanks, okay, you can keep it. <g> I'd be just as happy to not have to put the hard top on at all this year. Nor the snow tires! Hmmm, that reminds me I need to change the oil again.

It seems like that would have driven you nuts. No. I was lowering the top and putting the boot on, not just sitting there waiting for some stupid piece of machinery to slowpoke its way down. You know how much dentists cost when you have to replace all your teeth?

The power hardtop is the only reason that I am considering the NC over the NB. I have more patience than you in this area, 12 seconds is nothing to me for this and I enjoy watching the hardtop in action. If I absolutely have to tear out of there faster than that, then the top will just have to stay up for a while. As I keep saying, differing opinions are good, otherwise we would all be in the same type of car. NC hardtop sales figures will be high, I will put up money at decent odds if you want to challenge that statement. Since it is something that a lot of people want, and it affects you in no way whatsoever, how does that make it stupid? It is simply something that you don't want, yet. ;-) > You know how much dentists cost when you have to replace all your teeth? > > Leon For me, roughly $19,000. What's your point? :-) Pat |
