I gave my convertible to charity five years ago. I originally bought it in 1987 as a graduation present to myself for a beat up peice-O-junk car and 10k. It had no retail value to speak of. But it was my favorite car.
I drove that car everywhere from Atlanta to Philly to SanFrancisco to Honolulu (a boat was involved :-) and then from San Francisco back to Atlanta, and finally from Atlanta to Virginia.
I'm still kicking myself for giving it away.
I feel for you, man. Here, have my Bud Light... on second thought...
