So, I hadn't had the top down til today.

I had a 73 Scout, Popdigr had a 77 Scout, as well as a 79 CJ-5, so I've ridden/driven without a top before. I never really got 'the convertible thing', too much like a motorcycle. Too much of the time, ya can't really enjoy it, it's raining, it might rain, too hot, too cold, something.

This afternoon, I was in the back of beyond, and stopped at a stop sign. In five seconds I made the decision to put the top down. About 15 seconds later, I drove away with the top down. In less than a quarter-mile I said out loud, alone in the car, "Ok, I get it now."

I finally get 'the convertible thing'.
