First time, going topless!
Soooooo this morning, I decided to take the top off my car..... Ive had the car since last November (and for those not familiar with it, its a 1985, done up as a 96 GS).
Anyways.... As I was getting ready for work, I noticed the weather chan said.... NO CHANCE OF RAIN....(like I can trust them). So, I went down in the garage, and spun the 4 torq out..... and gave it a slight bump.... It was free.... I pulled it out, and threw it in the hatch (thanks to this site, I knew how to put it away, because I prob would not have had ANY clue).
As I back out of the garage.... the ext temp guage goes to 63 degrees (F)... not bad, but of course one of the cooler days of the summer......
HAD A BLAST!!!!!
Got to work, and couldnt help admiring, how nice it looks with the top off, and the bright red interior jumping out, so I snapped some pics....
The entire day, between investigations, and interogations, I would step outside excited for the ride home (especially because it was now in the mid to upper 80s)
Finally, it was time to go..... WHAT A BLAST!!!!!!!
The AC in the car does not work, and I want to get one of those hatch spacer things, so it ventilates a little better...... but till then, I think this will work just fine.....
The G/F was waiting outside when I got home, and snapped a pic of me putting it away........
Although its an old pic in my signature, I have a 6 spd, LT1 camaro with 385ci procharged/intercooled powerplant.... it will blow my vette away any day.... it even has T-tops..... however, let me tell you.....
Even with a third of the hp...... 11 years of age more, and an AT tranny, the vette gives the camaro a run for its money in pure fun of driving.....
:roc k:

Go topless in mine all the time. Must say, it is a completely different animal with the top off, hard to believe that 4 bolts and that little top make such a big difference. But, almost as fun as my old 87 vert.

Yes it is, thank You. It no longer has those wheels on it, it has deep dish c5s. Its a 1996 M6 Z28, with a fully forged 385ci, 10:1 with procharger 12 lbs of boost with intercooler. Strange 9" with 3.90 gears
