Cholesterol and blood pressure, according to my cardiologist...

Other than that, there are a lot of issues with our cars - and you apparently have a Roadster. Ok, SRT or N/A? If N/A, is it auto or manual?


Or are you asking about ROADSTER specific issues?
If THAT is the case, my advice is for you to NOT try to "Save the wear and tear on the system" but instead to put the top up and down EVERY time you drive the car, within reason, that is. Raise and lower it every DAY you are driving it, not every TIME that day you drive it. If you must store the car for a few months a year, start it up at least every 2-3 weeks, warm it up and cycle the top. Also, leave the top UP most of the time, that is, when it's parked overnight or for extended periods.

I had my Graphite as my only car for almost five years. I probably put the top up and down 750 times, maybe more. Never had a top issue, never had a pump issue, never had a leak.
Then a girl drove out in front of me at 50mph and the car was lost..................
