    I still remember that the convertible top actually had a glass back window instead of the usual plastic window that most rag tops had. And the clutch…it was so heavy compared to any stick I have driven since then.

      A glass rear window on a convertible is sweet! Cable clutches weigh a ton alright. Most cars I’ve owned have been stick, either electric-assist or full electric. I definitely prefer the electric-assist. You can’t feel anything on those arcade unit electric clutches. The point of driving manual transmission is to connect with the car. Don’t get me started on rev-matching and hill assist. lol
