Yes Welcome aboard! Great group of folks over here. For top down driving where you live you'll be able to drive from April/May to Sept/Oct. Where I live (NC) it's March to May and Sept/Oct to Nov and a sprinkle of winter driving when it is above 50. I'm sure in July if I get up early or drive at night I'll be ok...but in work clothes at 95 degrees the top will have to come up..these things do have great AC!

Enjoy the forum...and yes mods can drain the savings fast, but if you like doing your own work...it's a blast!

Looks like a nice ride...welcome!

The 2.7s are fun to drive...I'd like to cruise NE in a Box, but I'm stuck here in N Illinois, where it snowed again last eve, but not as bad as our friends up north. The prior owner did their best to de-amberize...

Might I suggest a set of colored crest caps for your wheels? A little hint of color always looks good with white.
