1.5) All exhausts are functional
2) GREAT weather for it. This is actually my first convertible, and I’ve learned something that will seem obvious, but I’d never considered. The roof of a car is often doing an excellent job of shielding your eyes from the sun. Even with sunnies on, that damn star is very much shining in ones eyes
3) I’ve not looked, but there will be. Finding Fiat badges will be boring, I’m going looking for Jeep badges
4) Stop stalking me

Balding isn’t (currently) an issue. I guess the eventual sunburn will be an excellent early warning system tho
Re: New car!
Not to be a drama queen - but a very good family friend had an incident through this very thing. Drove his 993 Cab from Calais to Le Mans, roof down, baseball cap on etc. Basically his neck got sunburnt and a few hours after arrival he had a bloody epileptic fit. I know it's a one off but had to say. I recommend a Buff.

Too many main colours, three's a crowd, keep it down to two and it'd be better (IMO).
