Default Does it get any better......

Than a drive with the top off? Long day at school + girlfriend getting on my nerves= headache. I took the top off and drove around for a couple hours and now I can't remember what I was upset about. :cheers:

It sure dosent. I just love cruisin with the top down, its soooo relaxing. I hate hearing people complain about the "feel" of the car with it off or the handling is bad. Oh fooey, I take it off as much as possible. :cheers:

I do that on occasion. I'll take off the top, light up a big fat cigar and start driving. When the cigar is halfway done, I turn around and head home.

Very soothing indeed. When everything seems to dump on me, a ride in the Vette with the roof off makes life good. :cool:
