OK SKY Fans. Here is a report on my 1817 mile journey. :driving:
I would like to report that it was smooth despite some nasty good weather. I managed to drive through a couple hundred miles of rain in SC and GA. This gave my SKY a good leak test because some of the rain was of the very heavy variety. Glad to report not a drop and the car handled very well. Most of the trip was with the top up due to weather.
I find some of the complaints people have voiced on the forum werer not a problem with me. The top is very easy to raise and lower. About the only awkward thing I found was the location of the power window buttons, especially for the driver. I also found I had to stretch to the limit to pick up a toll ticket at an automated booth.

Also could not find a good place to keep coins for tolls. If you are traveling I suggest small
soft luggage. The hard variety is a bit difficult to fit in the trunk unless it’s real small. My small hard case did fit in the trunk but did not with the top down. I managed to set it on the passenger floor. I found just about everything else tip top. I even got to use my OnStar phone while traveling. Sounds real good in the car but I was told it sounded a bit tunneled on the receiving end when driving. The sound on the receiving end is much better when stopped. It worked great and I plan to use it. :yesnod: The wheel rub issue had been taken care of by the dealer before I picked up my vehicle. I have nothing but good things to say. :thumbs:
If you have any specific questions just PM me. I would be glad to answer. :thumbs:
If I had a dollar for every vehicle that would pull aside and gawk, I would have made money on this trip. When I stopped to fuel up or eat it was even worse. "What is it?" or "I like it!" or "Wow!"
