Default Traded Up!!!
I traded my 98 pewter vert with 41000 miles on it for a beatiful 2004 Lemans edition vert with 24000 miles on it. What a difference 6 years can make in the handling and ride!!! I'll post pics when I get my camera tomorrow at the office. And the weather this weekend was the best for the vert top down.

Nothing beats cruising in a convertible, I don't care for the Targa tops it just isn't a substitute. Congrats and welcome to the open air club

Yep, Looks just like it and the best part...... it is paid for!!!! The HUD is cool and I did not know it had the telescoping steering wheel until I got it home. I had loved the pewter but it had its problems and I enjoyed every drive in it for the past 3-1/2 years that I owned it.
