[Spridgets] Old guys

[CosmicMag1380]

My wife has a Miata and we put a hardtop on it for the winter to save wear
and tear to the soft top. Unfortunately, the car easily freezes up and she
can't get in it sometimes. Once this past winter I had to use it because
she had my car because she couldn't get into hers... I had to climb in on
the passenger side and shinny over to the driver's side. I'm only 5'10" and
185 but at 65 it was a bit of a challenge! Good thing I had that knee
surgery 15 years ago...
