First time top off

The first time I took the top off the GS since I got it home in January.

Looks great. I keep threatening to do it too . . . 3 years later.

Any day now though.

Nice.

I had the top off mine for the first time this year a couple of weeks ago. Love that targa top. Nothing like driving under the open sky, especially when you have a coupe.

I rarely drive mine with the top on. I set the top on it while it's in the garage but take it off before I even open the garage door to take the car out.

Definately not like the feel of a vert but way better than a sun roof.

That first time you just wonder if you'll make a mistake or bump something.

I agree I was pretty careful the first time I removed it, but it is pretty simple once you get used to it. But as simple as it is you still must keep your mind on what you are doing. In any case your Vette looks great and enjoy.

Yea I took mine off the GS for the 1st time last weekend and then again yesterday afternoon. Never cared much for sunroofs in my other cars but this is like total freedom. Wife loves it too.
Great looking car BTW.

Have to agree that there is nothing like driving with the top off or top down if you have a vert. I especially love how easy the coupe top comes off, takes literally 30-60 seconds to take on and off! LOVE IT!

Haven't had mine on for a couple weeks. Never knew how much I'd like it, but now I don't think I would buy a Vette without a targa top. Too bad the Z06 doesn't have the option of at least a t-top.
