I saw a Z4 with a hardtop on the road this AM



What a silly looking thing. Just hysterical.

I just Googled a pic. The funny part was how disproportionately TALL the top was.

Looking heaad on (it was coming against me in traffic) you can see 5 or 6 inches of height of painted surface above the windshield. It was like it had a strange growth.

Here's the Google pic-

I almost had a heart attack. When I saw the thread title, I was afraid that you were going to say that it changed the whole car for you and that you liked it.

Boy, was I glad to be wrong.

But, see, I didn't cringe with my normal "Ack" response that I typical do with all things Bangled. Instead I honestly just laughed out loud.

It's totally comical.

I've seen that combo in Urban Green. Better have a physical before you allow yourself to see that combo.
