Uhhmm, yes, this can happen........

Lost my acrylic top that way. Luckily no one behind me but the top was totaled. OK, kewl I can buy that solid top so I can do the rally stripes I want. I found one on eBay for $300 and it matched my car!

I used to put the top wrench on the dash so I would see it to remind me the top was loose. Now, I have a orange knit cap that I put on the shifter so I cant forget. And no, I dont forget to put the cap on the stick. I will not become a 2 time member.
