The first time is always fun. For me it was in February, in Chicago. It was cold as hell, but what a ride.

Push the seat back as far as you can when you drive topless.
It seems that I can appreciate the tops more from further back.

I honestly think they're more for the passengers enjoyment than the driver

The T-Tops are awesome though when you hit upper triple digits. The wind is amazing. Nothing else like it.

tell me about it, i had an 87 mcss a couple of years ago and the one day I leave the car with the ttops off and windows down in a parking lot, it rained. It was a lousy ride home, to say the least

You sound alot like me. Day I bought my car I drove home with the T-Tops off.
Pretty much every nice day in the spring/summer they are off.
And even every now and then in the winter and fall if its not too bad out i'll take them off..with the heat blasting lol. As a matter of fact just last weekend I cruised around for 80 miles on a Sunday with the tops off and heat on high
