Reply to "Speedster / Coupe experiences wanted"

Go rent the smallest rental car available and go on the most scenic drive you can think of near where you are now. When you're done go rent a convertible and take the same scenic drive. Compare the two experiences in terms of what you were able to see and what you enjoyed the most. That is what my Speedster is to me. It isn't about the noise, or the smell, but it's about the visual experience.

I too would like a coupe, if for no other reason than I like the way they look. But they are cramped in terms of visibility and in a replica I'd imagine it's a lot louder than the Speedster. I don't own a replica coupe and I haven't driven in one but I have been in an original and I couldn't see nearly as much as I do in My Speedster.

Yesterday I took a nice fall drive with temps in the mid 60's. On this drive I never even got out of third gear. I went way slower than I usually do just to make the drive longer time wise. My friend Teby wanted to know if something was wrong with the car and I said it was running fine. I just wanted to take in all the scenery on this drive and not drive the twisties like I was racing someone. One of the most beautiful drives I've ever taken.

And even though my wife wears scarves and hats to limit sun exposure she loves the top down driving the Speedster offers.
