So, we had a *second* absolutely beautiful North Carolina day. Which was lovely. Windows down, wind through my hair, wishing-I-had-a-convertible bliss

Well, if money were no object, I'd probably go with something *truly* impractical, like a Corvette Convertible, or possibly something slightly cheaper, yet infinitely *more* impractical, like a Lotus Elise.
But, in the real world, I've been seriously lusting after the (actually, quite affordable) Pontiac Solstice since before they were even released. I didn't want one terribly bad when they first came out, however, because I was waiting for the faster, sportier version, which is finally coming out this year, as the 2007 Solstice GXP. Not that I can afford one, but by the time the 2008s come out, I should have the Hyundai paid down enough (and my credit rating recovered enough) that a trade-in might be possible.
Well, everyone's gotta have their little obsessions. ;)
OTOH, I seem to recall a certain young woman gushing rather endlessly when she got her new Altima a couple of years back so, while we're maybe a *little* more excessive about it, I'm not sure it's just *boys* and their cars. :)
