Laura,

Your date was a wuss?  LOL!  I don't think I'll ever have the top up on mine
except for the rare occasion when I leave it somewhere for more than a few
minutes and I want to make sure some kid doesn't hock a loogie on my nice
new interior.

Other than that, it's top down ALL the time!  If my passenger doesn't like
the wind whipping their hair into a mess then they simply don't get to ride!

Best wishes,

Jeff in San Diego

for 10 months! I only put it up because there was a deluge and my date was a
wuss!

Valley on those 100o days-or else I wouldn't be able to make it over
Sepulveda Pass in bumper to bumper!
