Default My First Ride with the Top Out

I took a ride in the Vette today with th top off for the first time since the weather was so nice, mid 80s and low humidity after the front went through. I have taken the top off a couple of times but never taken a ride with it off in the almost six months I have had it.

I enjoyed the ride very much. Kind of the best of both worlds. Here are a couple of pics.

That sure is fun without the top on!! Your car looks great!! Right color, btw! I remember when I finally learned how to take it off without my wife's help...now it comes off whenever I want!! No problem. I love that aspect of the car! So easy and convenient and gives such a wonderful choice. Enjoy many miles of smiles with it off this summer!!

I hear you Chris. I should have called you to see if you wanted to go, but I only had about a half of an hour while the kids and the company went to the pool. I had to come back to cook on the grill for all of us. I just had a minute to snap a few pictures too.

A perfect Z51!
I had to see what it would be like with the two-tone interior. I'm think the two-tone doesn't really improve upon perfection.

Now that's a clean looking car.

Enjoy living life on the edge....go topless whenever possible.

I like that.

My car does have some two tone interior pieces thanks to Vette Essentials, although not the seats, dash or doors.
