MIKE HEFFNER/The Virginian-Pilot

Terry Nieman can't leave the driveway without daughters Kristyn, 4,

and Tiffany, 15, coming along for the ride. Since Terry bought her

1996 Chrysler Sebring convertible, even her husband Tom is

volunteering to go to the store so he can borrow her new

convertible.

CHARLIE MEADS/The Virginian-Pilot

Steve and Beverly Brewster have always wanted a convertible. Now

they'll drive around in their Mustang.

GARY C. KNAPP for The Virginian-Pilot

Bill Newell ordered his new BMW Z3 back in November before the

excitement began over the James Bond car.
