Thank you very much my good man.

And don't be so humble! If it weren't for your constant evangelical sermons of how great these little porkers are, I would probably be in a properly balanced R8.

Thank you for your advice and guidance my friend.

I wish I could but I have no pics presently that demonstrate the difference. Sorry! If your time horizon is out a bit maybe I can post in May (as I will be away a bit at the end of the month). Subtle difference for sure but noticeable as the wheel arches do not 'cover' the sidewalls as much; ie, from the side you see some tire sidewall from the fenders down as they taper in/back. Best.

Just got back from running some errands with the wife in the new Targa tonight.

First stop: Neighborhood supermarket two blocks west.

Second stop: Walgreens one block south.

Of course, after waiting patiently outside both retail establishments with the flashers on, we took the beast on a blast up Lake Shore Dr.

With no cars in front, we went through the newly paved North Michigan Ave entrance tunnel to the LSD. Had the top opened so we could hear the 3.8L scream through the tunnel and on to the LSD. Oh rhapsody!

Cruised up to the start of Sheridan Road, u turned and just gunned it back up the LSD on the big right curving entrance. Much better that any prime time reality show!!

Just had to share the joy. Can't wait for the summer when that top will be permanently opened. Looking forward to more errands. Thanks for reading.
