I'd really like a vert XKR 4.2, but the only ones without horrific records are ridiculously priced......like 22k for a 2003...fuch, for 22k, I can get a cambiocorsa spyder.

You can convert the older cars to a glass back window but if you don't change out the lifting stuff it won't last. I explored the option year before last when I had to replace the top on my 97. It just wasn't worth the added expense since th canvas top isn't going to last much longer then the plastic window anyway

yeah, but I've seen quite a few that have had it replaced with glass. Have a buddy with a 2000 base and when he had his top replaced the shop put one in with glass...

Always thought a wrist rocket with marble sized steel balls was the preferred arms for urban varmints. That's what all the adolescents in my neighborhood used.

Plexus did wonders to keep my plastic window clear and supple. Only needed to apply a couple of times, still have some left. Also used some Porsche stuff on the top canvas that cleaned it really well and was supposed to make it last longer.



It snapped back around and I made the gate.

Ummm no wrist rocket here and I'm pretty sure that would just piss this guy off....he's medium dog size....

My dog could take him, but I really don't need any vet bills and I know how coons fight, she'd need at least a few stitches

Unless it is getting under your house the old raccoon isn't really doing anything but living it's life. I usually just leave them alone

rick, once you have the brass, it can be reloaded for about 0.45/round. and much more accurately.

When I was growing up we had a neighbor with a pet raccoon. Actually the neighbor was my cub scouts den mother. The raccoon's tail was only 2 inches long and it's name was stubby. It just kinda roamed the neighborhood but mostly followed the little girl my age around like a puppy dog.

One day Stubby was in a neighbors blow up wading pool. He would get in the pool and push down own the side to make the water start running out. Then he would jump out of the pool and try to wash his front paws where the water had been running when he pushed down on the side of the pool. Did that several times before giving up. We all thought it was hilarious.

There are people that will haul cars around for you. Did that with my Rover. Akin SC, to OKC $450. Also bought my GTS only looking at pictures, seller shipped it from Springfield MO to OKC at his expense after the deal was done.
