My Daughter loves the 911- she sits in her booster- puts her Disney shades on and says "go fast Daddy"...its a trip- of course I do not go too fast but she is screaming the whole time. Cruising through Laguna Beach she is waving at all the tourists...pretty funny.

I get some funny looks when my 14 month old is sitting in the back staring at the sky with the top down

Sigh... whereas my 2.7 YO daughter keep shouting "close close close!!!" whenever I have the top down. How do you guys train your daughter/son so well? She wouldn't even let me open the window (on the passenger side of course)

with seat heaters you don't need 75 degrees to have fun!

took my 17 yr old dtr yesterday for 100 mile drive abd stop for a bit of Christmas shopping - top down, cool but warm for the time of year and so uch smell of fall in the year.

cab's - you can't beat them imo.

AND - great pic of the ocean

I loved my coupe, but SO excited to have just traded for a Cabrio! I love crisp Fall/Winter days with the top down and heated seats on.

Skylar's Dad --- I'm from Laguna Beach, and nice choice in fleet! I've been extremely happy with my X5.

Talkinghead --- 8am departure tomorrow for a 36-hour refresher getaway to ATX and the Hill Country. Can't wait!

Can't enjoy the Cab here in Northeast. Your guys are lucky to have the nice weather there all year round. My daughter told me she doesn't like the cloudy weather today in NJ. I told her So Cal has the best sunshine in the country but come with earthquake. She said forget about it. haha.. just kidding.
