Good!

Some people disagree with me about the sunroofs, and hey, it is a free
country (mostly)!  I'm just trying to convert as many Bimmer drivers as I
can, and I think the facts are on my side:  Why pay money for a noisy,
heavy, headroom-robbing hole in your BMW's roof?

Greg, the lighter car will handle better and be funner to drive.  And white
paint is made from titanium right?  And everybody knows titanium is light...
