Three of the three nights this week, ie every night :), I've driven top down. Two were in the XLR. I'm not "disturbed" enough to buy a car that won't drop top! :lol: Yes. I'll let you know how it is. :)

Thanks for the pictures! I might just try that "partially up" windows idea, too, when I'm on the interstate at speed. :)

Was hoping to get my 68 Vette out this weekend, but ended up watching football about nonstop. :lol: Maybe one day this week. :) (Yes, it's a vert, too.) I don't think I've done a good job of describing the difference! Maybe your explanation is better. :) The wind hits me from the side...

Even more so since I started it. :lol: I drop my top on my Vettes and ride top down more often, and for further, than anyone I know!

Yes, with t tops off it's like that for sure. There is much less wind buffeting with the top down in my c7 vert, which is why I asked about options for the XLR. I located one of the GM mesh ones a guy is selling. I may try it. Cool that you and the girlfriend both have convertibles. :)

I just do a ponytail or a cap. :) I do top down and windows down no matter the speed. :)

Do you have the windows up or down?

Having t tops out actually creates a wind funnel in car like a tornado! In my c5 Corvette coupe, I had something that actually lifted the rear lid of the coupe to let the air out the back so that didn't happen. :) Actually, I'm the girlfriend, and it's my car. :lol: What do you think about...

I'm a convertible girl from way back. Always have one, and run top (and windows) down a majority of the time if I'm driving those cars. The wind just hits me A LOT different in the XLR, for whatever reason, so I'm looking for an option to not get buffeted. :) Heck, I don't even know if a...

Noooooo! :lol: I will do top and windows down to about 42*. That's my limit. :) I just don't like getting beat up. Having a windscreen WILL help that, right?!

I've had convertible Corvettes forever and, I'll admit, laughed at folks (especially in Porsches as it seems they are prone to do this :D) with tops down and windows up! However, the wind buffeting in the XLR is making me cry uncle! :lol: I've not put the windows up, and don't want to do...

I haven't even read the article, and I can answer! Low mileage, OK. Super low mileage, or virtually no mileage per year for the last umpteen years, is BAD! Many years ago, I bought my 68 corvette. The guy selling her told me he'd only driven her about 300 miles a year since he'd had her, as...

Very cool pix! Thanks for sharing them. :)

Yes, Andy is very nice. I've not met Johnny O. LOL About your wife selling it. I always tell Kevin what I'm going to do with his "shop" when he dies. haha

Awesome on your "new" ride. Now you need to request a name change here! I need to find out where events are so I can plan to attend at some point!

Ooooo, I want! (Since it looks close to mine. :) ) I have an Andy Pilgrim story. One of my friends is good friends with him, and he was always putting Andy stories in our Corvette Club newsletter. Me = come on, Andy isn't driving Vettes! So, Andy came to our Vette show, and my friend...

That's fun!

Cool! Is it a big show? The one here is huge. We ended up watching several episodes of a tv series, and I didn't get to bed il 5:15 am. Since our show starts about 6:30 (supposed to be 8:00 but people go early), I didn't make it.

Anyone from the forum going to Cars and Coffee tomorrow here in DFW?

Right?! He needs to go ahead and trade her in. :lol: True on both counts! Welcome, Vinni! And my XLR's name is Blue Bell. (Because she's blue, and because I got her this summer, the summer of no Blue Bell ice cream in Texas, which is huge news here. :lol:)
