Speaking of gay.. (cars)

Who wants to talk about 2-seater convertibles? I do! I've been planning to do a car review on here for a while after I drove the new 3rd-gen Miata 4 weeks ago in Dallas, and the Z4 over the summer. But all of a sudden today, I checked TopGear.com, like I do, and this was on the front page:

The new M Roadster! The original M roadster, basically a Z3 with an M3 engine jammed in it, is still my dream car, because it was a damn-near-holy experience to ride in Mike Belske's back in high school. Now they're doing it with the Z4 (so far just the softtop but expect a hardtop one a couple years down the line), and the current M3 engine's being stuck in it for a ridiculous 333-hp Z4. They're giving it the usual 'M' color (it's a dark, bold red) and this makes me happy for two reasons:

-It's awesome.
-It'll drive down the value of Z3-based Roadsters, and they're already selling privately in the low 20's. Late-model ones even have the same 333hp engine, though they're a little bit rare.

If you haven't already clicked the link, go look at the car and be happy like me.
