JUST ROADSTERS – NO PRETENDERS
Just because you have two seats and a convertible top does not make you a roadster. A roadster is a four wheeled motorcycle. They are not overly powerful. They are not overly fast. They just FEEL fast and powerful because they’re small and light and you feel connected to both the car and the road. With the top down you are part of the great outdoors. And you FEEL it.
The list of available roadsters is:
ALFA ROMEO SPIDER
BMW Z4/Z8
FIAT BARCHETTA
GTM SPYDER
HONDA S2000
MAZDA MIATA
MG TF
PANOZ ESPERANTE
PORSCHE BOXSTER
GM SKY/SOLSTICE
TOYOTA MR2
TVR TAMORA/TUSCAN
WISEMANN RX
The Panoz, TVR and Wisemann are all cars I’d love to own. Although you dont really own great sports cars. You get lucky enough to hold onto a bit of automotive history for a few years before passing it on to someone else. Sort of like a the Stanley Cup or something. 🙂
CUTS:
=============
I cut the following because they may be sports cars, but they are not roadsters. You cannot take a coupe, give it a soft top, and call it a roadster. It’s a pretender.

If you have a supercar it’s not a roadster. Its a sports car or an imitation race car. Although any number of ferraris I’m sure could make the cut.
