There is nooooo comparing a "T-Top" with a Convertible Roadster.

Wait until you get your Sky.

And contract a case of "Perma-Grin

I'm in mid Wisconsin and have had the top down since Wednesday. Talk about a stress reliever from work

**reedred** · 04-22-2007, 03:15 AM

I totally understand. In the last few weeks before my Sky showed up, I spent a lot of time driving my L200 with all the windows down. I called it convertible practice.

Absolutely! I still suffer occassional bouts of guilt about spending so much $$$ on a car--we've always been very practical--but driving with the top down just blows all those guilty feelings right out of the window! It's a blast. Sometimes I just take it for a drive at lunch to get away from all the pressure at work. It works! Man, I love this car. You ought to come on a cruise and at least be a passenger for someone on their own....

I had a 300zx with ttops. There is absolutely NO comparison between t-tops and a full convertible. Not even close! Since I've had my sky I've been kicking myself in the ass for never having bought a convertible before, especially since I live in Miami and it's convertible weather almost all year round except the hottest summer days.

Ouch that hurts.... I got a bit of a burn yesterday too. Unfortunatley it was from working out in the yard planting flowers and not from riding in the convertible.

Or how about TAT for T*T

Not to make light of sunburns. Be very careful out there. After 25 years of riding motorcycles & 4 ragtops, at 52 years old I found several spots on both arms that look to be melamona. After a dr's appt this week i hope to find out for sure what's going on. I always had a dark tan & thought it couldn't happen to me. Now i won't go out without strong sunblock.

thats a good idea. i generally wear some type of sunscreen. the problem with me is that i don't burn easily, well its not a problem, but it makes me think that I don't need sunscreen. I'll definitely be wearing it when I go to Miami.
