Hello Monster. I think I like your attitude.

What a beautiful car. It’s a convertible! I see trips to the river with the top down in your future.

Hmm manopause, you got a little black pussy and ran out a bought a flashy red convertible.

I've been uber-paranoid since I bought this car. Paranoid about rain. Hail. Thieves. Wayward tree limbs.

The top is reasonably quiet. I saw a pad kit that's supposed to fit my top, that will make it even quieter, but ya have to remove the pads when ya put the top down. Thinking about getting it anyway, $149, though.

I had the twin to this car (93 Cavalier RS Convertible, red, black top, light gray interior) found in a junkyard about an hour and a half away, and was going to get a laundry list of parts off'n it, but sometime after the pics were taken, they moved the car to the crush lot, and tore the bumper cover off of it in the process. No, no I don't still want the other parts. I hope whoever moved it got fired. I got m'doubts.

I was considering getting the whole car, but, where to put it?

Cute car!
My sister had a red hardtop. It failed her in NYC and a cop bumper pushed her into Harlem. She was out of her element.

wait what?

hi cat. look Grav bought you a nice car to bask on.....

Yeah, no. Not without a fair amount of dozer work on the road to the river from the paved road. Ain't no Cavvy gonna make that trip.

So, I hadn't had the top down til today.

I had a 73 Scout, Popdigr had a 77 Scout, as well as a 79 CJ-5, so I've ridden/driven without a top before. I never really got 'the convertible thing', too much like a motorcycle. Too much of the time, ya can't really enjoy it, it's raining, it might rain, too hot, too cold, something.

This afternoon, I was in the back of beyond, and stopped at a stop sign. In five seconds I made the decision to put the top down. About 15 seconds later, I drove away with the top down. In less than a quarter-mile I said out loud, alone in the car, "Ok, I get it now."

I finally get 'the convertible thing'.

Thinking 'bout changing my name to Wind In His Hair (from Dances With Wolves:D)

That's the thing about ragtops, you can change your mind and put the top up or down in a minute, unless you get all preppy with a snap on boot.

Sometimes I'd leave my CJ-7's hard top at home without a soft backup... fun wet fun

I'm looking for a used one.:lol2:

150 smackers, new.



I was surprised at the top up/down speed.

My truck takes 30 seconds up or down.

I give you hummer:

And a wainbow:

The wainbow isn't as processed as you might think. It was pretty bright against the overcast.

Hummers aren't that smart apparently.

Pete's been getting regular thank you visits from a lady hummingbird here. neat
