Who Loves Their Convertibles

[fred414141]

i absolutly love my 83 conv. i bought it last may. my 1st ragtop(at 48!)the car is far from a creampuff,(salvage title,dark blue car with a cheapo red n black paintjob,light blue inside)but who cares! i'm having a ball with the car and i can justify all it's flaws by the purchase price.....750 bucks. i have replaced a few parts though(alt.reg.starter,tires,brake shoes/pads,brake hoses,rad.hoses,and had the auto.tranny rebuilt) i am still under 2500 bucks into this car and feel like i've had at least that much fun with it already!
as far as the top,guys,if your car is a 'daily-driver' and a bit rough like mine,an 8 by 10 tarp and 6 bungee cords will cover it from the wipers to the taillights,takes only a couple of minutes to put on or take off.stores just fine in the back floor(even at 75 on the interstate!),and i went over 6 weeks here in missouri this summer without ever putting the top up. i keep the car covered while i'm at work,overnite at home,and anytime i'm parked for very long anywhere else.the tarp isn't as near a hassle to use as a carcover,but i wouldn't use one for long-term storage.comes in handy with the top up if you're parking where it's dusty,like at a dirt track.
you will have to put up with the idiots that ask 'whatsa matter? top won't go up?'.......if i gotta explain,ya just wouldn't understand..........

I am obsessed with my vert, and we bought it in 1998! My wife drove it 5 years, and I finally got it when she bought her 02 V6 Coupe. I spend hours detailing, at least 3 coats of fresh Zaino before every show, but I drive it every day except really bad weather, and I leave it in the garage and drive the Silverado. There is nothing like a vert!!!

Topless, I have had bird $&*@ on my seats so many times I can't count!!

i bought my 95 gt from a retired guy, he used to spend all his time polishing it, it had 84k miles on it, it has108+ on it now, it almost look's like tnt's vert, but i have put on black bullit's, stock on front, 10.5's on back with 315 - 35 - 17's, march pulley's, 65mm t/b, cai, etc, just re- newed my top with that raggtop stuff, it did a great job, my top look's new & shed's water like a waxed fender, my top is original, sorry, i love my leather seat's, they are still like new too, plan on more mod's later - gear's etc, but it still smokes rice. it was 83 degree's today, i drove it cause i figure it was my last top down drive, supposed to be 60 or so tomorrow, oh well, guess i'll drive the sick banger, but i enjoyed today. l8ter.
