<p>I don't normally think too much about it. When I was 20, I
didn't know what a Bugeye was. In my 30's & 40's, I raced
one. by the time I was 50 I no longer raced, but stored my
wrecked Bugeye. 20 years later I resurrected the old race car to a
street car. I am now 80, still drive my Bugeye. With a hard top
when needed. Guess I have to consider myself very lucky health
wise. As time passes it is getting harder to get in and out. A
smaller steering wheel could help with that.</p>

when I was 20 and I had my first Bugeye I could easily get in or
out with the factory hardtop on the car. I am 67 now and a few
pounds heavier. I restored a factory hardtop for my present
Bugeye, but I had to sell it because it is impossible for me to
get in or out with that ever shrinking opening.
