you could call me gay all day long while i wait 20 seconds for the F430 spider top to go up or down

Depends on the convertible.

Miata, SLK, Z3 = :ghey:
SL, CLK, M3, Maserati, Porsche, 6-series = manly man

Terminator?





I thought the m3 vert was a good amount slower than the coupe for some reason...?

Any time you have a choice between a hardtop or the same car with a convertible plus a penalty performance (weight, rigidity), the convertible is gay.

S2000 = Not gay.
Just about every other convertible = Gay.

The exception to the rule: Miata = Gay.

yeah but you grouped the SLK with the ghey group not the roadster group. The SLK is technically a roadster, and with specs close to a CL-S, the SLK350 I think moves the SLK class out of the :ghey: category that the 230 and 320 were in. And anything with an AMG badge is def not gay so that settles that for the SLK55.

I'd still get a base Boxster over an SLK350 though. But if I got a Boxster it'd be an S anyway, and I think most people here would save a little more money to get the S rather than get an SLK350 or a base Boxster. Not because of sexual insecurities, but because it's just a better car.

vert m3's are heavy as hell, if your gonna get a sports car a vert just ruins the whole purpose, makes it slower, its not as rigid in the corners

thats why they dont make the z06 is a vert or even removeable had top

You should have came to the meet Sunday with it.

Maybe I'll have to organize a mini-meet next week one night so I can get to see it. Have yet to see one around my town, just those crappy 360s

And Miatas aren't that gay. A lot of guys like them at the auto-cross cause they are very light.

I guess it depends what you care about. If you plan on tracking it, get the coupe. But to cruise around in, verts are cool.

I disagree. Miatas are the gayest cars ever. Do you know how many gay men drive them? A LOT. About the same amount as lesbians that drive Jeeps.

I thought Lesbos drove Subies.

And wether you think they are gay or not, there are quite a few at the auto-cross, and they pull in decent times

Take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm not totally serious all the time.
And how do you know that some of those drivers aren't gay? I could pull a decent run.

Sneaking in here. BTW BEET, I think Terminators are the '03 Cobras.

= S2000, M3, most Ferraris, etc etc

:ghey: = Sebring, Cabriolet, etc etc

Rather have a coupe, don't like being exposed while driving- weather, other drivers, etc. Find the sun annoying enough while driving with the a/c on, can only imagine with the roof gone. I guess it would be nice during a cool night or the fall and spring, but I'd rather just roll a window down to get all the breeze I need.

it's not ghey. some of us straight folk like to cruise PCH! (I don't have one, but would like to have one for this sole purpose) Besides, what do you care what anyone thinks? beauty is in the eye of the beerholder. For instance, many a men think guys that drive souped up hondas are faggots. that would make most of us queers. although mine is stock

just get one. enjoy alternate cars with your hot rod

Well they installed 4x4 springs to counter your argument, now all you'll see is mullets behind this new breed of miata. WTF was mazda thinking, rally car?
