I really dont like the drop-top look on our cars and I think t-tops are much nicer...
does anyone else share this opinion?

Later,

I think the general consensus is people like Drop Tops...but to own one is a much more painful car to own than a hard top or t-top car. I think all Drop Top owners will agree to that.

Graboid, are those 16" wheels? They look like Torque Thrusts...just in 16"??

They look good, but for some reason they look like 16"s to me! I think they look pretty small?

I don't remember anyone asking for an opinion. Why is there a knucklehead on every post?

Sorry man, I wasn't referring to you guys, who obviously know each other and are just having fun, but to the guy with 19 posts who just had to say that he doesn't like verts and he likes t-top cars


"I really dont like the drop-top look on our cars and I think t-tops are much nicer...does anyone else share this opinion?"


What does that have to do with posting pics of some verts?
