...flooded with 30 convertibles, up from about a dozen six years ago. Over the same period, registration of new convertibles is up 63%, according to R.L. Polk & Co. The new fleet ranges from family-oriented cruisers like the Toyota Camry Solara to such trophy hot rods as the Lexus SC 430. At next week's New York International Auto Show, carmakers from Audi to Mercedes will show off new models. Even Chevy's pickup division is joining the fray, with a "sport roadster" set to roll into showrooms...

...SC: I saw two comedies on the weekend of June 23. One was Chicken Run. Fabulous! The other was Me, Myself, and Irene. Terrible! Every time I think of the Farrelly's follow-up to There's Something About Mary, I get a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach (I have the same reaction to thoughts of Scary Movie.
