After extensive reading up on the posts in this forum, I did it: I bought a Box. I really appreciate everyone here who shares his/her expertise and makes this such a great forum.
When the car is delivered tonight I guess the fun will begin--and the questions (how do you fill it without spilling gas on the paint, how do you remove bird droppings from the soft top, etc.).
It really is a great car , especially compared to the other roadsters on the market: sophisticated understated design, terrific engine purr, great handling. Its the only roadster I found to be a worthy successfor to my current car, a '71 280SL ("pagoda") MBZ.
I'm looking forward to learning a lot on theis forum. Thanks again!
