Depends what kind of a TAK it has!

And I can't believe they have the top up when it's clearly not
raining.

They leave the top up to protect the HUGE TAK of course.

Now that's just sad. Looks like a 96M.

It can be hard to tell between the '96M and a Montego blue in the right
light, but I think you are correct, that looks like a heavily abused
'96M to me. The area with the "M" emblems is covered in mud, but that
doesn't mean much, my '96M had no side emblems.
I would rather hit another deer with one than do that to it.

Like I said, if it can be screwed up, it will be, eventually.

It's hard to see them, but the headrests look like the unique
"M" version -- IIRC, they were a different shape than the non-M
versions. In any case even if it's not a 96M, that doesn't
deminish the, um, oddness of the whole thing.

At first I thought it was something somebody photoshopped, but
I didn't see any evidence (though the photo was too low a
resolution with too high a compression factor to really tell).

I guess there's no accounting for taste.

I doubt it. Somebody did the same thing with a Spitfire.

I hate to say it however, butt ugly as it is, that might come in
handy the next time we have a topical storm like Allison come through
Houston. I actually use my car as an excuse to not go to work if it's
been raining hard and my boss accepts this but, on occasion, she comes
and picks me up in her Ford Expedition.

Carol, you've got a "great boss", NOT! ;-)

I hate to say it, but I WANT one of those. As Carol mentioned, it could
really come in handy.

I'm disappointed I can't drive my Miata up the old CCC road to my cabin.

This thing would really do the trick!

I think the top was up to keep the mud out.
