I done that before. It was awsome when the cops were watching while you are driving. They just gave you a weird look. :P

I had one pull me over back in January. He walked to my window and immediatly said. "now son i'm sure your very excited to be driving this car. But I think that it would be much better for you if you put that top up. I obliged, put the top up and we went our separate ways.

Then about a mile later I put it down again



But whatever, he was just being a concerned guy.

I took advantage of the nice weather and washed my car this weekend....err.......twice. Got up Saturday morning, all psyched up, and cleaned her all up (2 bucket method FTW). Took her out on the road and it was dirty again within half an hour with the damn snow melt. Oh well, the wheels were gross with brake dust and needed to be cleaned anyway. So this morning my wife says she wants us to run some errands and go for a nice drive with the top down. Well, how can I go for a nice drive with the top down in a filthy car. Out with the buckets again.....ugh. Yes, I have issues.

Work on my car you mean? My garage/driveway. I wash it outside then pull it into the garage to wipe it down so that the sun doesnt dry it.

Phil is awesome at fast shipping once he has the product.
