Default My first time...

...going topless. And it feels so good!

I bought this car on New Year's Eve and today was the first time I took the top off. So much easier than my old C4!!

Really looking forward to more of this...

That's too funny. I bought my convertible in the end of January and went for a short ride sunday with the top off for the first time. It was much easier than taking the targa top off of my C4.

Yeah, no little wrench needed to remove the targa top on the C5. Off and on in less than a minute.

Good looking car and glad you got to get it out and enjoy it.

Love driving with the targa top off!

Great weather this week, but still too much salt residue on the roads...another 6 weeks or so...
