Default It's top down time!

OK, Daylight Savings time has started, we've had our rain storm, now it's time to put the top down.

I'm feeling it too. It's 75 in NC today.

I can't wait to test out the new Borgeson, Hydroboost and steering wheel.

The top is down on my '71. The engine is ready to come out, though, so having the top down really doesn't benefit me.

It looks that way. Perhaps 1/2 that amount just north of you (here) but also 5*F later in the day and evening. The morning commute will be a mess.

You're right, sir. Or - in my case - top(s) OFF. Cali's a tough game but somebody has to do it.

But don't pity me; pity our poor 'Vette brother in Laguna Niguel. I mean - a roadster, PCH, warm ocean breeze; a sunset to die for; the perfume of a zillion beach flowers blooming on the hills. Really, he needs your thoughts at this difficult time.
