You want an sl buy an sl, you want an slc get an slc, but don't butcher the thing. This is where a little something called class comes in. It doen't take too much thought to cut the roof off a car. You notice everyone who does it is immediately selling the thing, I wonder why. To basterdise such a beautiful car to make it something it isn't, come on.

Who cares about safety if you can roll an slc you deserve to get killed. If I ever had a convertable I wouldn't have a roll bar unless I raced it and that was a regulatation. That's what I really like about the cars from the sixties is that they had little/no safety measure which should make you a better driver because if you know the dash will be in your lap if you crash it, you'll probably avoid crashing your car.

I'm sure James Dean would back you up on that.

If the donut shops were started before his death there would have been no cops on the road to chase him and he may have avoided the accident.

Yeah! Nascar Fan and I talked that a while back. He did laps at Memphis Motorsports. I ran ten laps at California Speedway at 180 on the straights. 3rd best rush I ever had.
