I'm no hater now, back in HS and college i was pretending to be straight but i secretly envied those attractive girls in their basket-cars.

Personally, i like the New Beetle convertible more than the basket car. If Chrysler would make a PT Cruiser convertible without the handle i could see myself actually buying one of those but again I really like the Beetles. Roomier than the Cabrio too.

I don't think they made one, but a New Beetle convertible...excuse me, I meant Cabriolet, would be nifty in a tdi configuration. A 1.8 turbo would also be nice, if you had to stoop to scarfing gaz. Lady Z would probably find some way to reward me if I came home with one of those, but alas, she needs to tote around two lil ones on a reglah basis. The only vehicle she ever shed tears over was our old hyper-reliable '73 Super Beetle, which was in nearly flawless pristine condition.

A new Audi A4 Cabriolet is a fairly svelte machine as well.

He he, I sold that with the farm. I'm assuming they use that to haul organic veggies from the field these days.

Marge Simpson's twin sisters drive around Springfield in a Thing. That's got to be the ultimate in manliness for you! Better to see them in a Thing and not a Thong
