cool


I bet that is sporty. The TT goes well enough. What does the VW weigh?

The TT is a relatively new acquisition...my graphics delivery vehicle!

Perhaps not. But it is one fun filled, quick, and comfortable ride back and forth to work. And saves a little on gas over the silverado.

I'd give a race a shot too. That thing honks for a 7500# pickup. No corners though..... lol

But if you spent the price of the chick car on gas, think about how far ahead of the game you'd be and you'd still look almost manly.

So if you guys are in the market for a 2 seater convertible what would you consider a "manly" car?

Damn Jake, after Ricky left town, the mob went looking for a new victim and they found you! Don't worry though, Ricky will be back soon enough.

Lotus Elise or Exige. Too small to get laid in, but you get laid the minute you get out. Faster off the line than most motorcycles, corners at close to 3g with good tires, and chicks dig the design. Best of all, it's practically affordable (but you don't get any "shi-shi" extras like air conditioning, cruise control, stereo).

For a bigger wallet, I'd agree on the Cobra, but someone said they don't corner worth a crap (turning radius sucks) but chicks fall all over that design as well. Just don't burn yourself on the exhaust pipe and wear earplugs. Gets my vote for best engine growl ever

For big wallets and guys who want hand jobs from women they hardly know, The Ferrari 458 Spyder (look girls, it's a convertible!) or one of those Masaratis.

It's season down here, and it is nausiating how many of the cars I just listed are driving around town now....

I know...no kidding. I won't go off the deep end if you start talking about ADD though.

The vette is the only one on this list that a regular human can afford and is semi-reasonable to drive every day to work...but keep going.

Let me tell you from experience, the girls MAY like the look of convertibles going down the street, but they're really not endeared to cars like guys are; and the first thing they ALWAYS say is "Can we put the top up? My hair's getting messed up."

This was my driver for several years. [not this specific car but a red '74 TR 6 all the same]

I've no idea why the picture isn't showing.
