![]() Well it's been a little over two years now since we bought our 96GT convertible and I can't get enough of it. Yah, it's heavy and coupled with a first gen. 4.6 it's a dog but I love it. It's never been vandalized and the top is still in great shape. Detailing the interior is a breeze when the top is down (as well as loading groceries) and there's nothing better than cruising down the highway with the Mach 460 pumped up.
We'll get it fast someday but until then we can still enjoy the ride. We have plans for it but for now it just sports a Borla side exhaust, FMS pulleys, Pro-M 87mm MAF, and a K&N with silencer removed (it's a start). Is anyone else still in love with their ragtop? Sorry... seems like kind of a pointless topic but it's summer now and I see a lot of them around.

![]() I can't get enough of mine. I drive with the top down as much as I can. Nothing like going down the shore with a friend and some girls in the back with the top down. And just think, next summer I will be getting my Waverunners

![]() Well, I've got to say I bought mine in May of 92 (6,000 miles), and I still look forward to driving it.
I can't see ever getting rid of it. It has 126,000 miles on it, and still going strong. Yes, it's heavey, but there is nothing like putting the top down and just cruizing around.

![]() I love mine to death. As long as it is not pouring down rain my top is down. I only put it up once a week to wash it. Plus we I cruise with the girls everyone can see me better.

![]() I love mine. That's why I invested so much money in it. Late night drives on a balmy night with clear skies are the best.

![]() This is exactly my point. There's nothing better than cruising a country road at night with the stars above and the glow of the dashlights on your face. If I had a garage i'd have the f*cker dropped constantly

![]() TOPLESS... definately the way to go!
This is my 3rd rag top Stang and I just love them. Did go wrong when making first Stang purchase and got a 25th Anniv GT coupe '89, it was sweet but it didn't take long for the wanting of a rag top to set in. A year later I traded the '89 in on my first rag top '91GT, then to a '93GT, and most recently my '99GT Limited Edition Convertible Anniversary Model. Three rag tops out of four ain't to bad! The night-time drives under the stars are best. Of course I always thought it would be cool to be out cruising topless during a light snowfall. But, haven't tried it yet... think people would have me committed? ------------------ 35th Anniversary Limited Edition Black on Black 5-speed |

![]() it is close to impossible to get my son in his car seat without having the top down cause of my cage..I like to call it "drop in loading" (like the advantix cameras)
I love the vert to death but hate how heavy she is! -ed |

![]() Yes, the drop in loading is definitely a plus. I put our son, 2, in the front, and our daughter, 1, in the back.
As far as rain goes, isn't it cool how you can drive in the rain and barely get wet as long as you don't stop? What's uncool is that I left the top down once overnight and it poured. My driver side door speaker rusted because of it. |

![]() There's some commrcial out now (can't remember for what) that says something like..
"Sometimes you just need to the let the wind brush your hair..." Stats as of yesterday from May of 99: -Zero rain in car from having top down -Zero snow in car from having top down -Zero tree sap -One Guinness Book of World Records sized birdsh*t on the headrest (took it two years to happen) ![]() Who ever said it was too hot in Kansas to own a convertible... was probably right... but it hasn't stopped me yet!

![]() I absolutely love my convertible. I take her out at least once a month and just cruise her all over the city. Just something cool about riding around with the top down...
