post pics or else!!!!!! haha...Congrats dude....Sky is one sweet ride......A while back I went thru this phase when I really really really wanted a convertible.....I was browsing Craigslist and Autotrader like crazy for S2k and saturn sky almost everyday.........I ended up not buying for a couple personal reasons.....

Watch out for theives .......don't leave your car parked in some ghetto area... Convertibles are like easy target for them....unless you have a hard top...

Top down is awesome, I'll say. However.....soft top FTW.

Sky Redline with 0% financing...I am jealous!

I would love to have that car if I didn't have a drum set to lug around. This post seriously makes we want to sell my drums--I'll do that and trade for a 0% Sky Redline!

Waiting for pics too I hope you enjoy your new car. Let us know your gripes with the Sky too.

No 0% on those.

I'm sure you will enjoy the Redline! Make sure to think about me when the Colts are beating up on the Jags this season. I'm sure you will enjoy that too!

Hahaha... Oh man I'm so not worried about the Colts this year. And I'll still be around. I'm not hiding.

Dennis already told me I failed for not getting my pics up. Tonight. Or I die.

And I'll post my 'Vic too for all the haters. Hahaha.

That is a beautiful car along with the solstice, America finally got it right. Great HP and Torque plus fuel mileage to put the RX to shame.

The only downside is 2 seats (if you need 4) and no storage space. Also a little heavy for a 2 seater but no more so then a Z-4.

Nice car and for a great price, great choice overall.

Enjoy!

...and STILL have room for a passenger. I was able to fit the set in my old 91 MR2 turbo as well, no passenger obviously.

Pros:

260hp
Fast
Great Looking
Top-Down Action
Great Sound System
Clamshells
Quiet believe it or not
Relatively Rare
Great on Gas 19/28

Cons:

Very little storage in cabin (which is fine because that's what the Civic is for)
Miniscule Trunk (which is fine because that's what the Civic is for)
Pretty much no trunk with top down (which is fine because that's what the Civic is for)

That's it for now... will update later!

Actually it's probably doable...provided he doesn't use bottom heads on his toms or base drum....all those drums fit quite nicely inside each other....the real PITA is the freaking hardware now if he's running a "Bonhamesq" double bass cage type trap kit.....that **** won't work.

I'm kinda jealous now. I always like these cars, solstice, miata, etc but I'm unfortunatly too tall. When I sit in the car all I see is the cross bar. Love the new car dude!

All of my heads are on . Just a basic 5-piece Tama Rockstar classic. The bass, floor tom, snare, and pedal case fit in the back seats. The 2 toms, cymbal bag, throne, and hardware bag go in the trunk. Yes, the hardware bag is a bitch, I already scuffed up the top of my rear bumper and put a tear in the weatherstripping . I'd post pics but the set now stays at a friends house.
