I saw a red Tiger with Red HT in Annapolis on Tuesday getting on Route =
50 (going east) from Route 2 around 1-1:30 PM yesterday. Can the owner =
email me privately, or if you know this owner, let me have contact info.
Thanks

I'd like to know if there is even the option of having the rear window =
replaced with a new glass or plastic window. I would have gladly paid =
