It was good just the top was very, VERY confusing and a struggle to put on. And with these freak florida rain storms... you never know when its going to rain. But I did take it out for a short drive and I realized how much I would miss the extra 120hp :v My guy was going to give me a deal at 10K below sticker... but thats still 330K I think I'll wait for SLRs to come down in price :v

Here’s the break down of what I thought
Pros:
Below Sticker
Good Trade In
Roadster for those great Florida days
GREAT COLOR COMBO
CF or Glass top roof coming soon
Cons:
- 120Hp
Still an E-Gear
Over 300K
WTF... yellow calipers

Obviously to me the Cons out weigh the pros... but it is tempting :v
