Default First topless drive in 2009!

It's a glorious 61 degrees here in Detroit today. After the past few months of sub-20 degree weather, it feels like 80 out. Walk out the door of work for lunch, damn it's nice, who needs to eat anyhow. Dropped the top, raised the wing and went for a nice little drive.

Interestingly, I'm pretty sure I inspired a few others to do the same thing. As I was out, I noticed 3 other convertibles see me, then promptly start putting their tops down. Only fitting, it was basically seeing the video of RIOT doing topless burnouts in Chicago over the weekend that really put the thought heavy in my mind......must have been my inspiration!

Thanks RIOT!

Awesome. It was 53 here this morning so the top went down for the ride in.
Spent the weekend in Chi-town and nearby Starved Rock State park with Cathy's coupe. Weather as delightful but I couldn't get her to put the top down. Did find the OMG button.

SRT's rock.

If you lived in Miami, you could drive top down almost every day of the year!

Sorry to rub it in...

Last Saturday afternoon was the first top down ride of 09 for us. Nice sunny afternoon about 60 degrees. When I bought the SRT Roadster for my wife I never had a clue how much I would enjoy the top down drive. It's a different way to enjoy these great cars and we love it.

If I lived in Miami, I'd have a 700 mile commute.

Yeah, but don't you have to speak two languages to live there?
