But I don't have door pockets...and for $100,000, neither should it.

My speedster is not worth $100K, but it does have (highly useful) door pockets. Mine aren't even proper "Roadster" pockets - they look just like the mutts on this car. I figured the whole "original" thing went out the window as soon as the car got roll-up windows, a 6th grade science project under the deck lid, and an "Intermeccanica" badge on the dash.

The mongrel door pockets never offended my style sensibility, but I'm a Cretin - so what do I know? I do like having a place for paperwork, sunscreen, an envelope full of gaskets, and the odd screwdriver.

By all means - you do you. I hate the plaid seats, but I know there are lots of guys who have an unnatural attraction to them. The tent here is certainly big enough for a pocket/no pocket skirmish among friends.

I'm a functionalist, and firmly in the "anti-plaid", "pro-pocket" camp.
