For whatever reason, it took me years of wedging my hand under my ass to recognize this, so I've recently started experimenting with pillows and pads to find the right size and shape to carry with me.
Try this, I swear by it.

Pick up day today.

Woof, I’m going to miss this 2. My original plan was to order the pimpmobile and have the convertible through the nice part of the summer.

I guess I’ll just start dithering about what my future roadster will be as a complement to the sporty family hauler.

Is the answer always Miata?

That is exciting, congrats. It will be interesting to see how a one car scenario works out for you.

And, yes... your son would love for you to spec his kid car as an N/C Miata that you two share.... or better yet a 1er vert.

Wait… I totaled missed that you were going to get rid of the two. I thought this was solely a replacement for the Mazda.

Yes. I need the funds for the step up in family car. With the two cars' value, the new car is almost a wash economically.

Plus, I have a 60s house where the carport was enclosed to make a garage. Nothing else will fit with the 4 in it. Until I build a shed.

We'll see how things look after the kid is launched.

But, I agree it's a shame.

Maybe the new 2 will eventually be introduced as a convertible...

Bummer as you seemed to really like it. What color combo was it?
