Posted by Hello Once again, here in Chicago we go straight from freezing our rear ends off, to sweating up a storm. This happened all in the course of the day! It's 76 degrees and all the nuts are out. As I looked out the window earlier I couldn't help but notice some of the people in the neighborhood driving around with the tops down on their car. It was actually quite amusing. You see, there's a certain amount of envy that most people have for the lucky son of a gun who carts around town in a convertible. Grant it, most of the people salivating as these cars go cruising by are men in the 40's. It's almost a surreal moment, as if their younger days are going by one last time and they can't climb in for one last ride. Now, after what I saw outside today, I think there has to be some kind law in the books over what is considered a "cool" ride to put the top down. Certain cars just don't cut it. In the course of an hour, I saw a Chevy Cavalier, a Pontiac Sunfire, and and and old Chrysler LeBaron. Now how many people can actually say, "Hey, I can see myself in THAT?!" Nope. Not many. There's some new cars out there where you can take the top down AND look good at the same time! The new Mustang and Shelby are nice, but everyone's buying the Mustang, and the Shelby is about 85K. I saw that Saturn has a new roadster coming out. I call it "The poor man's Viper." It's only 25k and looks good. I went to the Saturn Dealership in South Holland to check it out. I didn't want to go during business hours because I didn't want to be pressured...even though they don't do that! Saturn is famous for it's no-dent side panels. If you drive on the highway a piece of concrete can hit your car and bounce right off. The Roadster is no exception. I went on Friday night. They had one on the lot. I took my baseball bat and whacked the hell out of it. All the dents and dings bounced back. One thing that didn't however, was the front and rear windshield. Check that car out. You'll look good in it. It also comes with Sirrius satellite radio so you can listen to Howard Stern curse like a sailor come January. You can even put the top down in the winter...all the other nut jobs do! -------- Squealing Pig WORLDWIDE!: Time to take your top off!
