But seriously, what a beautiful car! I can only imagine how excited you must be. I am very happy for and excited for you too. These cars are so much fun, and not to bad to work on either!

As a previous owner of a 2002 white gold SC and my current 2010, I can tell you I'm very happy I made the move. The 2010 is more stable and the electronics and other changes that were made only on the 2010 are worth it. And you now have joined a small club-there are only 329 of us who own this car. I assume all 329 are still around, not knowing any better. Congrats on a great buy.

On the other hand, what a wonderful day. We picked up the patch, went out to lunch, and did a little Costco shopping, all with top-down in the 82 degree sunshine. I did pay my dues though, living in Chicago the first 33 years of my life. I didn't consider a convertible back in those days, but that was before hardtop convertibles! What a great life!

I also have a Mica Red/Camel 2010. What is a Beatsonic Patch? Where do you get one? What is the value of having it?

Thanks,

The nav is HDD and the CD changer Is now DVD/CD changer, it has Bluetooth audio (Internet radio), iPod connector,XM radio, and USB outlet.

I'm going from my 02 SC to the 2010 and while I upgraded the head unit to the Bluetooth pioneer in my 02, I'm looking forward to not having a washed out screen with the top down.

I don't have a lot of plans with mods other than luxlink, moving my Lexus spare tire kit from the 02 to the 10, and replacing the runflats. Oh, the excitement!!!

Sign in with the following only with the 2010 model:

Red/camel purchased 1-24-14 mods: none yet
