Van,

  You've got to go full time topless!!!  I love it!  I'm pretty fair skinned
so I burn easy (even though I use spf50 every 2 hours).  It really depends
on where  you keep it and if its your only car.  I've been caught in the
rain,but some times it's more fun to drive in the rain.  If you need more
encouragement let me know what I can do to talk you into it!
     Ken
