[Roadsters] Hardtop

[Hall, Phillip B. (MSFC-ED10)]

Now you went and did it Gary!  Haha

Actually, back in the day I loved to drive my Roadster year around.  Took it
skiing every weekend in Idaho.  Now I am spoiled by new cars.  And actually
agree with you - I would love to build a V8 Z for nasty days for that added
driving 'smile'.  This year in the South it would have been put to good use
- rained over 10 inches this month.

Like some here - I don't even put a top on my Roadster.  I like'm topless
and in the sun!  Ahh, Roadsters too...
