That's because you are going out of your way to avoid her and being a post note in her win column.

If she put on a Sherlock Holmes hat she might figure out where I like to go on Saturdays (weather permitting).

Easy hint, I am not the only BMW that will be found there. 😉

I spotted two Supras in the parking lot at work and another on the way out of the compound. This was on Monday.

You know me well.

PS, I prefer going there on Saturdays as their service dept. isn't as busy as weekdays.

That's good information!! I was staying away because I thought it would be busier.

I saw a white one coming the other way near Sykesville, MD last Thursday. The first one I have seen in the area other than my own.

Looked through a dealer window on Sunday and saw one...

That is almost cheating!

In the past week I've seen two 718 Boxster Spyders, several E89s, E85s and Z3s, and an R8 Spyder.

But NO G29 Z4s in the last 500 miles of driving.

Also as a new convertible owner, I'm noticing that many convertibles only ever seem to be driven with the top up (except Miatas - they usually are driven top down). Even on really nice weather days.

I know right?

Usually it’s a simple question: is it raining? Yes, top up. No, top down. Temperature doesn’t play into it…

A lot of people, though, do give the reason that it’s too sunny - understandable to be fair. Sun can be a problem, especially for white balding heads. So, I don’t judge.

I've been driving top up since 1996. Lots of reasons. Most days I forget putting it down is even possible. This is my 6th convertible. All chosen for other reasons. Especially this one.

BMW doesn’t make any other 2 seat vehicles (well, excepting BMW Motorrad), so that might be one reason. Resale on convertibles is probably better in FL than elsewhere too. Hmm, I can’t come up with any other reasons to have a vert unless it’s to take the top off.

I’ve been taking the Z4 out for various errands the past few days and using that as an excuse to drive extra miles while out on those errands. Today I clocked ~50 miles running 2 local errands that would normally entail 15 miles of driving in the truck. And it was great! This evening I took a long, meandering route home and having the top down was fabulous especially in the shaded air under the tree canopy. I can’t be bothered to take my motorcycle out for short rides, but it’s really fun and convenient to get air in the Z4.

And there’s a windbreaker, a sweatshirt, gloves and a couple different hats stashed in a bag in the trunk. As you say, as long as it’s not raining, the top goes down.

It’s funny, because I’d always heard that you inherit your hair from your mother’s genes. And my mother’s father had a full head of hair when he died. There’s a photo of my dad, and his father (my granddad), and his father (my great granddad) and me as a baby. Foreshadowing, I guess, because my Dad is the only person in the photo who has all his hair (and he still has it too at nearly 80). As for me, I have taken to keeping it very short (Wahl #2 or #1, and sometimes no guard) and wearing a hat when it’s sunny.

Z4 was my best compromise in 2020 and it's exceeded all expectations. 8er too big. Old 2er too little tech. 4er not 4 me. New 2er isn't sexy enough. Watching the future M2 but don't know if I'll be a good fit for it.
Have always had very long hair. Not the only roof reason but high on that list.

Yeah, the Z4 has been a pleasant surprise. Not always easy to know what living with a car will be like until you do it, but so far the Z4 is providing all the enjoyment I had hoped for and without sacrificing comfort or amenities.

And your comment reminded me of this image

Super FUN car!
Never seen that. Similar to my style. LOL

Someday someone will reply to someone with "That was me". That's a win.

What do you think I have been waiting for every time you post a sighting?

[Horseman]

I swear.. G29 owners in my city are SO BORING! I've seen now a little more than a handful, but only 2 of these clowns have actually waved back or stopped to chat a bit.
