I was going to post something along the line of, "WTF????", but to be fair I did used to sit in the 66 vette in the garage and run through the AM radio dial at night. Kind of like being in a time machine. It doesn't work on modern digital radios, alas, so the stang just gets driven.

Never to be so rude as to ask a lady's age, but let's say it's a good bet you weren't here yet when this was released in 1963. Says it all. Good to know girls like you are still out there!

Well. I thought I liked my cars a lot. Not that much.....lol. Glad to read posts by a very happy owner. Oh, yeah, summer tires turn into oil-soaked, rock hard spindles when it gets into the 50s. You may well have to get a set of winter wheels and tires. Enjoy the new ride!

Hahaha, I read this a bit too fast and thought you meant the top had to take driving at 135+ mph. Yes, it will take that easily. The newest top design is light-years ahead of earlier ones. Even the front bow connection to the windshield frame is recessed to get it out of the wind. The front...

If you're ok that my most recent experience with multiple feet of snow on a convertible top was in 1978 (two back to back snowstorms that dropped about 3 feet of snow total), yes, the top is plenty strong enough to hold the snow weight.

I'd probably just spend the extra money to make a 10 sec car into a 9 sec car if I got bored. After retiring my last Terminator for this thing, I don't miss the stick one bit. Then again, how do you get bored with a 10 sec car?....lol Advice, if the stick car you're looking at isn't already...

The top is cloth, it's well insulated and it has an inner liner. As recently as the Fox, convertibles had none of those things and they held up just fine in snow and ice, even with plastic back windows. You have zero to worry about. Advice from someone whose first ride in a convertible was in...

Convertible is the only way to go in FL. Good choice!

Just curious what you guys think is the threshold when FHP will stop you. I've blown by too many at 15 over the limit and they don't seem to blink. 11 over in Texas is almost a guaranteed stop.

Once you're on the downhill side toward age 70, you don't really care about being checked out by the cops. Annoyed if you get stopped for no apparent reason, yeah, but otherwise it stopped being a big deal many years before.

No, we wont.

Yes its OK to jump it. Make the last connection be the ground clamp in the donor/jumper car. Don't make a hot connection near the dead battery. You may have to keep the jumper car connected for a few minutes. You have something powered up while you were away. The battery shouldn't go totally...

That yard enforcer is awesome!!!

Not sure whether the B&O system has a better satellite receiver than the standard unit, but at least on my car, w the Shaker audio, it's not good at all. Connecting to my phone and using the Sirius XM app sounds a whole lot better. I wont even take their $5 a month second subscription because...

Two things. 1. That's a gorgeous car. 2. The roadster cover thingy is a "tonneau cover." One of those things I never saw the use for, either. They're not a new idea. You could buy them for early 4 seat Thunderbirds. Here's a shot of one in a '65. '65 T birds had sequential turn signals, too...

Nice to hear someone who has a good dealer experience. That is a nice looking car!

Stand behind your car right after a cold start up. You'll smell the same rotten egg odor. There's still some sulfur in gasoline. The cats clean up most of the hydrocarbons, and nitrogen and sulfur oxides in the exhaust, but when the mixture is rich (WOT, cold idle) you WILL smell sulfur. A...

Where the car is garaged has more to do with rates than you might think. Houston is expensive. IIRC, my rates went up about 20% moving from Corpus Christi to Houston. Dropped about 10% moving to FL.

Dang! I thought I was the only one who did that

Starter?!? Sure. Repeated starts in a short time period are also about the worst thing possible for the battery. Like these cars need anything else to make battery life shorter.
