    2JCW's! I'm considering adding a 2008 JCW (of course its a last of the supercharged) vert to my garage to keep my 06 company. Anyone gone from a hardtop to vert? Only reason I'm asking is I'm not sure SWMBO will let me keep both.

    And what about getting it delivered to Ohio from Florida? Any recommended delivery services? I searched but didn't come up with anything.

    Right on Dave!

    I flew to Fort Worth, saw the GP by 9AM, test drive over by 9:30AM, all the paperwork and money stuff done and over before noon, and on the highway home in a GP for 11 hours.

    Pack snacks...:cool:

    I went from a justa hardtop to a vert and haven't regretted it yet. Survived my first Ohio winter without any issues. I say do it!

    Ended up that the dealer sold the one I was looking at 15 minutes before I called to finalize the deal. But a week later I found a different 08 JCW vert with only 3600 miles on it. So my son and I flew to Connecticut Monday to get it, and arrived home yesterday. Here's a shot of them both.
