An open letter to people with convertibles

(viewed 954 times)

PUT YOUR DAMN ROOF DOWN.

If you don't want a convertible car, give me yours. I will appreciate it, and treat it right. That means putting the roof down on sunny days. On modern cars it's only a matter of pressing a button (and maybe releasing two catches), there is NO EXCUSE.

I'm bitter, because I have to drive a very boring* car and I suspect now that I may never be able to afford to buy or run a dinky little sports roadster like I've always wanted.

* so boring I often feel like crashing it just so something will happen. It's a diesel 206.

I've always had the fantasy of getting a convertible up to 80 MPH and then hitting the button so the top would rip off and fly away into traffic behind me....

This week I learned that on a Monday morning after a sunny weekend, a posh car dealership will get a lot of calls from customers with roof problems.

should the dollar collapse to hereto unimagined depths, maybe.. :)

my car budgets to date have rarely made it very far past four digits.
