Just sitting on the porch watching the news, reading the news and doing some paperwork. 71 degrees on the porch.

$13 million with no roof?

I've got a 1998 BMW Z3 2.8L Roadster Convertible that I got for $6000 with 107K miles in 2014. Looking over the Miatas I got a deal. Its at 135K now. I'm a lucky guy. ;-)

In "GoldenEye" with Pierce Brosnan as James Bond that was his ride out in Florida. The color is Atlantic Bleu or something like that.

Actually its exactly that. Just FYI I can do tuneups and maintenance but you're not getting under there to do an oil change without a jack. Not a chance. ;-)

I go for groceries and to take the little lady out to the beach.

If it rains, top up, little drips come down sort of where the wind vents would be, if it had wind vents.

So I don't take it out in the rain but if I needed a 'Scrip from CVS for my wife I'd put up the top and be back in 10 minutes with maybe a few drips inside.

But NO ROOF for $13 million? Ridiculous. No worries - my car is always in the garage.

It was really a present for my wife's 60th Bday - she wanted a convertible and she knew how to use a stick shift.

Turned out I'd be the driver but again, no worries, she's got a 2024 Acura RDX with everything with room for anything she wants to take up or bring down and the main thing she can drive 600 miles to North Carolina to see her Mom, her family, our daughter and granddaughter and stay a couple of different months a year in comfort and with no reliability issues.

Sweet.

I just take care of me and the animals while she's gone.

Still, to be honest, when she's here the things I don't have to do is amazing. When she's gone I see something, know it needs doing but its not getting done unless I do it.

I really miss her when she's gone. ;-)

Life is good. ;-)


6 grand vs 13 million? At least mine came with a roof with a couple of drips. ;-)

TYR? Just saying hello. Really this was all for you. Been a little while. Sorry - been busy. ;-)

Did "John" Voight once drive it? Whatever you do, don't let pops look under the hood!
