Default Re: May get a ragtop, but need info

I love the space in my PT. Along with the autos Santa listed above, which I tried, I also tried the Honda 2000, the VW bug, the Mini Cooper S, and several other verts. My mission was simple, or so I thought - must be a road riding car, as in comfortable on long trips as I drive a loop from NC to FL to ATL up to Indy, Chicago, NJ and back down. Needed to have a workable trunk since I'd be carrying luggage and work stuff. Needed to have a back seat "just in case".

None of the other verts could foot the bill. Mustang - fugetaboutit! Mini - no trunk at all. VW bug - trunk is too small. S2000 - 2 seater only, second runner up behind the Chrysler Crossfire - also 2 seater and tiny trunk.

Anyway, took me 6 months to get the car I wanted, and once I'd driving a GT model I had to have that. That took 2 months of my friend who owns a CJD dealership, searching for me. Found it in a 5 speed, and the love affair started. I was out today pricing getting flames painted on my PT!! Always looking at something else to modify.
