Default Going Topless

I took a nice trip yesterday in my new Vette. Went up the east side of of Lake Coeur d'Alene from St. Maries to Wolf Lodge Bay. This was the first time with the top off, it was great. The sky was blue, temp 72 degrees, scenery unbelieveable. I could not stop smiling, didn't want to go home.

Good on you....enjoy it. I live down a short stretch of dirt road so I have to take the top off once I hit the pavement and put it back on before I hit the dirt. A small but necessary sacrifice. Enjoy the sky!
