I also have other auto interests which she doesn't like, purely because they are 'hard tops'........makes life hard to justify the above expenses, hence it see's more time as a rolling storage unit in the shed.

Do it once..........


for me it is the exact opposite .. my wife HATES wind with a passion thats one of the reasons I have remained in a hard top .. mind you I rarely see her anywhere near my Zuk ... go figure .. :D


My wife is the same, she complains that the wind in the soft top blows her hair around, :roll: This is my first Sierra but not my last, will either get a soft top next or later do a body swap and than suffer the consequences : :twisted:

So does mine... she won't even drive with a window down in the car, let alone with the roof down in the Viagra.

Of course, since she tries to stay as far away as opossible from the Viagra that's ok with me.

She can't complain about how much I spend on the Vitara since i bought her Audi for her (despite earning $20k a year less) and she still hasn't paid me back 18 months later.
