Hello,
        Whenever I am out with my girlfriend in the roadster.. With the top 
down of course.  And we pull up next to someone driving a fancy-schmancy new
convertible with the top up she always yells   WOOSE!!!! <sp?>  And we motion
for them to put the top down acting like they are crazy for not having it
down in the first place..even if its 45 deg and at night.. We get some 
strange looks that way.  But the person in the convert. always looks a 
little guilty.
