So I thought: if Ringo can pull it off why not me? Haha, dumb comparison but I pulled the trigger anyway. In May of '97 I drank half a bottle of whiskey, got the clippers out and went to town. Best decision I ever made. My hair is semi-curly and I was tired of fighting it -- so I just got rid of it.

I toyed with the idea of letting my ear hair on one side grow way out and use it for a comb-over, but I decided against it. J/k.

If you got it (like Batman) flaunt it; if you don't, CHOP IT OFF and don't look back.

I particularly like the guy who has a "hair ring" then lets it grow into a pig tail, not there is anything wrong with that

Interesting...she is in the driver seat, but obviously not driving.

Tell her to put on a hat, or put her hair in a ponytail....driving with the top off or down, windows down, is like a thrill ride....nobody cares what you look like.

BTW...she has nice hair...

Nice pic and video . . . but I see an open sunroof in the video. There's no C6, or any other Corvette, in this thread.

Got into a huge fight with the wife a few years ago before I got the Z06. Had a 2005 coupe. We were in Hot Springs, Arkansas, about 100 miles from home. Late in the evening. I wanted to take the top off and drive through town. Its about a 5-10 mph drive because of traffic. She said no, it would mess up her hair (we were about to head back home). Drove all the way home without a word. Main reason I traded that car for a Z06...lol.

Actually in my case, it's the noise that bugs her. Not the wind. I'm not a vert guy, but recently my son crashed my Vette and my wife wants me to buy a new vert C7. It's so I don't hate my son for life! Lol. My car is nearly fixed. I like the removable top. It does muss up my hair though. Lol.
