Ahem...  I got the top boot for $5.00 (well... $4.00 really).  You spent the
wopping $20.  Oh how we forget....  <grin>

Did you say you were interested in Saturday or Sunday for skeet?

Pronounced Tun - Oh.

It may be a little more refined if you actually speak French.

You don't need the bar.  I don't use it so I can put my seat all the way
back.  If you can sew, than you could probably make your own tonneau cover.
You need snaps and a couple of those Tenax fasteners (well 6, really).  You
can find them really cheap when there are vendors at shows and swap meets.
I got a top cover for something like $5 or $10.  The guy had a full tonneau
cover for, say $20 or best offer.  It wasn't new by any means, but a little
armor made my top cover pretty.

The top cover only covers the vinyl top, and not the car's cabin.  I like it
better, because it doesn't obstruct my seatbelts, and I can hear my speakers
better.

Later,
