Re: Getting some respect?
When I was looking to buy a car after graduating from college in 76 things were fairly bleak from a performance standpoint. I read an article in Car & Driver comparing the convertibles available that year. I still have a copy of it somewhere around the house. There were about 10 to 12 models still being made, a couple of MG's, Jensen Interceptor, VW, El Dorado, and others that don't come to mind off the top of my head. Point being the 124 spider was ranked the #1 ragtop that year and one of the reasons I bought the car. I know I'm bias, but I don't regret the decision to buy it, and still think it's a cool little car.
