Default Funniest **** Ever!

I picked up my car from the paint shop on staurday night. After we left, not even 1 mile from the shop, me and my little brother's friend, leading in his new Z28 get on the freeway and his driver side T-Top rips off and leaves me with glass shower. I didnt know what the hell was happening but I knew my life was over. Lucky it wasn't but my brand new paint was ruined with a million glass chips that scratched my paint down to the base. So now I have to send my car back to the shop to get resprayed!

It could have stayed in one piece and hit your car, so thats something to be thankful for.

How does someone get into the car and not notice the lever down for the t-tops?

I had a friend put my passenger side T-top on and he didn't close it properly. I was on the highway and it flew off doing about 70mph....luckily there were no cars behind me... I looked for it 4 times and couldn't find it.... I think it flew up to heaven....

...when mines flew off last year, i was arguing with my girlfriend playing with the latch, pulled off fine, got on the freeway, the air got under it, it flapped and i flinched. Once i realized what was happening i reached for it and it flew off and i watched it shattered in the rearview. i drove back to check on it and the frame was in shreads...

We were at a weekend racing event last month, and we're about to take a group photo of our cars. Well this guy lets his passenger move the car to the photo area, and what does this dumbass do? He decides to take the guy's car and do a doughnut with it, and being the idiot he was, he didn't put the ttop in properly and it flew off, hitting the asphalt and shattering into a million pieces. The guy was so pissed, he almost made him walk the 200 miles home. I guess some people just don't pay attention to detail. That or they just don't care.

I never install my T's without locking them(kids like to play with the handles),can they still fly out if they are locked?

Damn, I'm glad I don't have T-tops. Sounds like I would have lost a couple by now, must be my short term memory thing.
