    I can't stand convertible BMWs. It looks clean, but not my cup of tea.

    It isn't a cloth roof, its the hardtop roof the the E30 verts. I Dont know the rarity of it but I do know they sell from $$$>900. They look so sexy though...

    Push more than others think is Safe
    Expect     more than others think is Possible

    Damn yah that RX7 looks great with the ill fitting body panels, 4 shades of red. Wheel fitment and color choice is stellar. The oxidation on the tail lights is fantastic! I just can't get over the detail in that car!
