My new Chili red vert

Hey I just became (about 4 hours ago) the proud owner of a chili red MCSC. Wouldn't you know that as I was waiting for all the paperwork to be finished the bottom dropped out of the sky. I NEED sun!!! What a fun car. I have been reading all night getting different hints about driving with the top up or down. Can't wait for tomorrow.

It was raining the day I picked up my cabrio as well. Remember, as long as you're going over 35 mph you can have the top down in the rain. That doesn't explain how to get the top down at 35 mph though...You're gonna love it! Come on over to the cabrio forum for some great topless talk.

Congrats, I'm sure you will make great use of the top being down in both wet and dry weather.
