Not all of us. 1) I'm still with the same partner I was with 30 years ago. That doesn't leave me a lot of time for dating young babes. (or a lot of energy, come to that . . .) I will admit I did ask, when she turned 42, if I could trade her in for a couple of 21-year-olds. Her answer? "Sure, if you could find two dumb enough to take you" 2) What's wrong with convertibles? I had one nearly thirty years ago (a Triumph Vitesse), and I got a different one in 1986 - a Mustang GT. I've still got that one. And in a year or so I expect to replace it with yet another one; we're thinking about a MINI Cooper "S" convertible, with the John Cooper "Works" package, as a replacement, to go along with our existing MINI Cooper.
