OK, OK, OK! I got the message ! Just came back in he house after reading
all the trash about "PUT YOUR TOP DOWN ! Sooooo I went out to the car, took the hard top off, opened the garage door and ran the car for about 20 min's. with the top down and the CD player up high ! My wife finaly came out and asked what the hell I was doing. (it's about 40 deg's. and rain out side.) A guy hast'a do what a guy hast'a do. Yes I had the top down today !!! :-) Bruce Bing '03 LS (and dry too) |

The paint job is far enough from pristine that I'm not concerned about the little abuse it may get from it. Most work OK, when I had the plastic window on the old top, I'd get water in the cabin some. Now w/ the zipperless top w/ glass window (Duetto), it's much less of an issue. Shouldn't have any problem with water leaks w/ a new coupe - tho I'd probably be a lot more concerned about the paint getting scratched up if I had a new shiny coupe.. I did have a problem at one place. The gas station closest to home has a touchless car wash that does some laser mapping of your car to determine where to shoot the water.. apparently, they didn't take small roadsters into account when they designed the system, because it couldn't find my car. I even got the store clerk out there trying to get it to work. He was actually in the wash area beside my car waving his arms around trying to get the thing to think he was a car, I guess. No dice. Had to get a refund on that one. -Scott |

Every time I run it it's less comfortable as the rich folks just keep throwing more and more houses out there and understandably give dirtier and dirtier looks to the drivers of vehicles they think might be breaking the speed limit out there. Maybe we can do a real early morning run one of these weekends? Weather here is gorgeous too! Chris 99BBB |

I don't trust carwashes (including teenage fundraisers!) but understand some folks don't have the facilities and sometimes they are a necessary evil. The coupe shouldn't be any different than any closed car, I wouldn't think. Chris 99BBB |
