Roadsters

So yesterday I was losing my mind studying, so I took a stroll to "GM World."

I was looking at all the cars, and the Solstice really caught my eye. Twas in silver with black leather interior. Something made me sit in it. I fell in love with the idea of a roadster. Everything was centered around the driver; the stick was in the perfect position, everything looked awesome. I had never sat in a roadster convertible in my life before. It really was a different feeling. Maybe I enjoyed it so much because it had been the first time I wasn't studying in awhile, but there was something youthful & invigorating about sitting in that car and shifting gears (even though the car wasn't even on). I felt like I was back in high school and nothing really mattered. It really was an odd experience. It made me feel like my car was ordinary, mundane.

I am now very interested in sitting in a Z4 and maybe test driving one, or even buying one...in a few years though.

Has anyone ever had that feeling with a roadster, or am I completely loosing my mind?

You are completely losing your mind! Just kidding, I find that when I get to take the roadster out for a drive I feel invigorated about it. My senses come alive, I see and feel everything in my enviroment. One reason is that in an open cockpit you feel more exposed and vulnerable, thereby (hopefully) causing your senses to be more alert. We love our roadster and will always own one in some form or another.

Sean, you're definitely not the only one. Roadsters are just flat out amazing. What I do not like about roadsters, though, is that they get a lot of attention....fine for girls who love that, but I'm not too crazy about being in the spotlight everywhere I drive (especially if I'm whipping around).

Yeah, but guys can't drive convertibles. You have to be married to rock a 4-seater convertible because otherwise it just looks like you're borrowing your mom's car.
