So early in my driving life my dad bought this little blue two door convertable suv and I didn't much care for it. One day my dad decides to teach me to drive stick and the only vehicle that fit the description was the Tracker. So we go out to a dirt/gravel parking lot to learn to launch, perhaps to save the clutch/drive line from the shock of being hard luanched on pavement. His answer was when I can do it with out spinning the tires I'll have it. But it was early spring and just warm enough to take the top down so we did. Eventually I figured it out and was treated to unrestrained burn outs and doughnuts in the gravel. If you haven't done it doughnuts + dirt parking lot = gritty smiles. I still have the Tracker and have spent entire summers w/o putting the full top on even in rain; the bikini top covers just the front seats and thats all I need dry any way. I still prefer to ride with a jacket on instead of the top up. And when I see gravel parking I still find time to make some gritty smiles. When did you fall in love with topless driving?

Re: the moment I may never go back
Mon, July 17, 2006 - 9:16 AMi remember as a small child my next door neighbor and best friend's mother had a convertible - chrysler lebarron - and she would take us girls for cruises here and there. it was always a big ordeal to get us all together and ride around town. that was when i first fell in love with convertibles - and eventually convinced my own mother to buy one. she bought a lebarron also, when i was 15, so when it came time for my driver's license i got to practice on that car and i LOVED it. :) since then she has only owned convertibles. she is going on her third chrysler sebring at the moment. i've been trying to convince her to branch out - LOL - but she loves the sebring.
