I have lent mine on several occasions, letting people try it themselves, usually they like it enough to buy one. That's how my wife and I got sold (thanks John & Audrie). See if someone will lend you one to go around the block. Females seem to think it is more necessary than males. It does work amazingly great (I have the latest style) but you do have to remove it to put the top up, not a big deal. If you're in Los Angeles PM me and I'll let you try mine.

Plus i don't like the looks of the vette net. Takes away from the look of the verts.

Well heck no. You could tear the roof right off of a coupe or FRC and it would work just as well.

Definitely agree about the windows down rule. I use the vette net when the wife is with me on a longer cruise but never when it's just me. It does a good job of lowering the buffeting in the cabin. I store mine under the top which leaves the trunk free. Get the storage bag.
