Don't forget the swarms of Africanized bees! And the self-propelling Dragon-snakes...they spring out of the waterways and are like heat-seeking missiles, going for those 98-degree warm, human bodies!

Fine with me since I am getting sick of people with the convertibles complaining of blind spots and a too small rear view mirror. It's a convertible, dammit! Put the top down and shut up.

Oh, and don't let me catch you driving with the top down but the windows up. Nothing looks dumber than that! Really now, if you are so concerned about messing up your hair, why the heck did you get a convertible in the first place???

If you don't approve of rolled up windows with the top down, I guess you wouldn't be a big fan of the wind deflector either?

I like an open top, but a decent hair-do, myself!
