Absolutely! Best tops off ride I had we were cruzing through montana in my pace car in June of 79 with the tops off full tank of gas and my girlfriend at the time took her top 📴!. I made it 1.2 miles before I pulled over. Florida is great but it's not that great.

See each car causes something 'reflexive' to clench.
C-3 Corvette Convertible = Mouth
Porsche 911= Anus/rectum
Muscle car= Biceps
British 'sportscar' Left leg (sh!tty brakes}
C-8 Neck muscles
Motorcycle= Eyeballs

Me, I'd rather smile!

Big grin

Unkahal

If you're not smiling when you're driving it, you have the wrong car.

Sometimes, I smile a lot because I made it home without discovering any new problems.

In a couple of weeks, it will be two years since I acquired my 76 Corvette. It's not a show car by any stretch, but a nice looking car with no rust. During these cold, damp months, I find myself going to the garage, taking the cover off and admiring it. It puts a big smile on my face just sitting there, and when the sun comes out and we're cruising, life's good.
