Default I thought I'd introduce myself

Hello to the group. I'm an old guy that decided to quit riding Harleys after decades of owning and riding them. The idea of being taken out by a teenage girl texting while she was driving got to be a real possibility.
I have owned and loved sports cars in the past, and have had a '60 and '69 Corvette, '64 and '65 TR-4, '69 Porsche, '60 Austin Healey 100-6, and '73 MGB, among others.
This time around, I found a very clean '07 Touring Roadster with 16,000 miles. After a whopping 3 days of ownership, it appears to have been a good choice. Other than wanting to add an inflatable lumbar support, it seems very livable as is.

Welcome- has it had the CSC recall yet? '07's, if you're not aware, had an issue with slave cylinder that was followed up with a recall. Have it taken care of if you can.

EDIT: Assuming it's a 6mt.

that's a winner sir. basically the exact car i would buy (albeit w/ a black int.).
almost a definite you got a killer deal as it sounds like you've bought a few
trinkets along the way.

it's my opinion you should buy yourself a simple mod, like some h&r springs or
swaybars to explore the tip of the modding iceberg. the car reacts really well
to suspension upgrades.

good luck and enjoy.

A black interior would be my choice, except for the fact that I live in a very sunny and warm part of the country. It is a lot easier to sit down on the cooler dove gray seats. It makes a large difference if you never put the top up.
