You nearly shattered my hopes and dreams with that one.. 60% is a lot! However, I'm going against the weather man (Toyota mechanic) on this one. I'll get the umbrella but I won't wear the rain boots (Get front/rear struts). I just gotta have that carbon fiber roof (FOR ONLY $200)! It will go perfectly with my black mk3 project car..
Sometimes, weather men.. Are wrong! If it where a weather woman.. I would probably listen.. Well, at least "Watch".
