I don't drive a vert, but I do have T-tops. Better go with an SPF 40 + as I'm sure "Top Up" half the time is probably not an option .

I have had 3 women livin in my house for many yearz. Somehow this has worked over me mind and I have come ta realize I don't need anymore women!

Joel do you guyz really wear dem sombreoz in Teaxas? Ain't that kinda hard ta keep dem frum blowin off an hittin da fellerz car behind ya?

Some how I kaint picure this ol' REDNECK a wearin one o them funny hatz or uzin an umbreller. I kinda doubt I could bring meself ta wear me ballkap bakerds either. I werent raised like that. If'n Mickey M. didn't doer like dat I haint a gonna either.

Besides I don't think da other fellerz in da Caravan would appreciate havin such a Fruit Loop a ridin wit them much less me wifey!

Long before I had my Vette (as a matter of fact, long before I had my current wife!), I rented a convertible and drove with the top down from San Fransisco to Los Angeles. Funny, I always thought it was the East Coast that was famous for Lobsters...

The wife and I were out today for about an hour or two with the top down (the car's - not her's) and both of us got some color. On a trip of more than a few hours, you definitely want to have some protection. I would say an SPF 40 should do you.

My personal view is that if it's not raining and it's above 70 degrees, if you're driving a convertible, it should be against the law to have the top up. When I see people on a day like today with the top up, I always tell my wife that their roof must be broken - but that's just me!

Everybody forgets the ears and the back of the neck. A good sunblock and you should be fine. I thought you were taking the Tux to Carson City?

I hope I won't regret taking a black car into the desert phew

Don't forget to reapply the sunscreen every couple of hours when you start sweating.

I saw a lot of verts yesterday with the top down and the winders up.

The sun was warm but the wind was still cool.
