*OT* Michael - My wife and I played checked out the NY auto show on Monday. I seem to recall that you mentioned driving an XK convertible. Saw a very nice blue/green one with cream leather at the show, BUT, what really caught my eye was the new Mercedes SL500 convertible, especially it's folding hardtop. Pretty amazing, goes down in 16 seconds, and the back window pivots to make the folded stack tighter for more trunk space. The car looks way better than the competing Lexus SC430, which also has a folding hardtop. Since you own that class of car, thought you might be interested. I love the idea of a hardtop/ragtop <ggg>, you get the security of a coupe without the possibility of some punk running a knife down that expensive fabric.
