Thanks for the input so far folks. As to the comments: Malcolm: Thanks for the recomendation of Hunt Valley. Their current inventory is pretty sparse, only one convertible stick shift, but I will keep them in mind. LauraK: Yes, I have rented a ragtop, so I am ready for it. I do have family in Atlanta, so I may check that out. They appear to be about $1,000 less than around here for a certified one. Malt Hound and Retro-Bob, As for security, I am a suburban guy and most times when I go into the city I park in garages, so I am not too worried. As to the visibility, i am ready for that also. As part of my job I drive a 24' truck, so I am very used to relying on my mirrors. As to the acceleration, I have test driven one in some traffic. While it is no match for my brothers' vette, it easily keeps up with my current car and easily beats my last car which could not get out of the way of it's own shadow. Thanks again all, Len
