Keep the convertible or the wife ?
How many guys go through this ? You have a convertible and it is summer time and time to drop the top but your wife has better ideas . She will say it either blows her hair around , it's too cold, or it's too hot because of the direct sun . Yep , that's what I have been hearing ever since we started hitting the cruises after memorial day. The first two cruises she said it was too cold so yesterday it was a perfect day and I said " It looks like a good day to drop the top " She said you drop the top and I will drop you . ( JUST KIDDING ) I know it sounds like she is a little bitchy but not the case at all , we get along great and coming up on our 50th anniversary . She just don't like the top down .

I'm one of those guys that has convertibles that never puts the top down. No problemo.
Famous quote.
"Ward Cleaver: What's he like?
'Wally' Cleaver: Well, he... Well, he's the kind of guy who drives around in a convertible, but he never puts the top down.

Hum,
I like convertibles best, my 66 daily driver was a convertible,
Tina found our 69 convertible. And never said a word about the top being down unless is was cold but i had the heat on her side, she was happy,
Lol, im the one with the top down bitches,
I hate the direct sun and searing heat,
Most bats do,
So mostly drop the top at night,
I dont like my hair blowing everywhere but like when riding the trike have a ball cap for that, tina lets her hair blow free,
at the moment the soft top is trash so i just leave the hard top on,
Some day i will tackle installing a new soft top,

SOMEBODY'S TOP IS GONNA BE DOWN!
I drove my '69 Camaro in the rain with top down....any speed above 40 mph keeps the rain out of the interior!
