I love this car. Been a muscle car guy all my life. Was looking for a convertible.
Z28,trans am , gt mustang. But I really wanted a vette. Did a lot of searching and my wife found our 03 BRG,cashmere,Apollo wheel convertible. I love my wife and she loves this car. If it was a vette I'm not sure she would feel the same.
I got it all, happy wife and happy me. Life is good.

 

Nice choice! Pictures! We want pictures.

 

With BRG/Cashmere, how could you (and your wife) not love it.

 

Cool, I started off looking for something else also. I had been driving a '87 Alfa Spider I'd owned since it was 3 years old. It got totaled when a teen with no license ran a light and hit me. I set out to find another Alfa. The insurance company would only give me $4800 for it. I had no other car and was without a car for 3 months. They only suppled a rental for 8 days. I ended up hiring a lawyer to go after the insurance company and its still not settled yet and the accident was 5/4. I quickly found it would take $8k or more to replace the Alfa with one like it. I wanted a convertible again so I started looking for a cheaper replacement. I started looking at XK8's and ended up with the one I have for $5k plus shipping as there were none within 100's of miles of where I live. I never thought I could get one of these for less than the replacement cost of the Alfa. In some ways I like the Alfa better as its more of a true sports car albeit not the fastest one but still very fun to drive. And cheap to keep running and got 31 mpg. But now I have a new to me toy to get used to and learn how to fix as it breaks. This is really different for me as I am used to driving MUCH older cars and even the Alfa was a "new" car to me. My second car up until 3 years ago was a '52 Rolls Silver Dawn for instance.

Learning how to post pics. Not computer savvy. Believe me I would love to post pic. Thought I could post pics from pics I took without having to transfer them to something like photobucket.

 

Right, the color combo with the wheels and a convertible. It's awesome. Compliments everywhere we go. Not joking.

 

You lost me on the convertible. Congrats on the car!
