No Comparison

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 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.

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.
