  Geeeez!  I had no idea there were so many softies out there!  In 1972, I
took my roadster from Orange County to Parker Dam in mid-summer.  Given
everything we needed to take for the weekend, I had a choice between the top
and the spare.  So, we left the top at home.  It was hotter then H___ driving
over. Even the air coming in through the vent windows, turned so they caught
the air, was hot.  Now, the drive back through the sandstorm near Twentynine
Palms and the cold and rain re-entering the LA basin on Sunday were pretty
miserable.  But the desert without the top?  Bearable.

  The first year I drove to Shasta I had the top down. Burnt the tops of my
ears so bad that I was miserable for quite a while. The zip down window is
great.
