I'm guessing that the "bad automotive decision" has nothing to do with that fine C70.

So - what's the bad decision you have to make?

Something like that. It was the era of emissions choking.

Seventeen and you feel old? I'm 41. You have not felt old yet, young one. When your favorite song gets played on the classic hits station you can talk about feeling old. Happy birfday!

Impressive bit of engineering. I imagine it takes at least two people to raise the top properly, since all the support hoops are on the seat rows.

Happy bday! And if you feel old now....it's not going to get any better, lol. I'm 27 (almost 28), and I have a kid. Seeing baby pics of her, then seeing how much she has grown....no wonder I have gray hairs, :).

It would, if it had one. They also made wagon and sedan version.

Ah, my mistake. The second pic makes it clearer. I'd say not enough cars have had a handhold bar behind the seats - the long wheelbase Land Rover is the only other one I can think of offhand.

Now that is an abstract mix of droptops! Thanks!

I really want to get a last gen as soon as the Civic lease is up just because of that mesmorizing hardtop!

My dad ends up saying stuff like that all time!

It's more or less the fact that I graduate HS next year and yet I still remember kindergarden like it was last week!

Those were some of the greatest Mercedes ever built IMO!

I would save your $. Even with a soft top, the thing was slow and pig-like in the corners.

Happy Birthday! The best way to enjoy a convertible with friends. Enjoy this lovely Continental that makes it easier to share top down motoring experiences!

Yeah. I used to roll my eyes when my parents would say stuff like that. But it's true.

I don't know what you have decided about your post high school life but I want to make a promise to yourself: Enjoy the hell out of your early 20's. If ever there is a time in life where Carpe Diem should be embraced this is it.

*I know I'm in the minority, but I'd rather have that than some sporty little car like a BRZ or Miata...

I'm a sucker for luxury. I don't care its an old, heavy, FWD machine...

It never came with a soft top. the 1st gen did.
