Is it safe to drive a conver. with the top up and windows down? the reason for my question is that when I drive my p-car that way, something in the back of my mind keeps the thought of the top coming loose or tearing..I don't have a bunch of rattling or anything like that...just that, is this something that I should be concerned about over time?If I am not mistaken, didn't later model p-cars use more "braces" in the top? Was this because of any issues? If anyone can ease my mind about this, i would appreciate it. Thanks all!!
Oh and one more thing to ask around about....In my neck of the woods, I have been pulled over 4 times now by police and the first thing I am asked by the office has been the same thing..."Is this YOUR car?" and "is this car stolen?" It came to a head yesterday when a young lady in an Audi slammed on her brakes when officer "friendly" came around a corner and he slapped a u-turn and pulled me over for following too close...I was nowhere near her rear!! We stood on the side of the island causeway and argued between each other for an hour!!!after all, here the police drive like maniacs and break traffic laws all the time( I have video proof) I even recorded this whole stop on my iphone4. (he didnt want me filming, but i told him that it was my right and if he was recording me, i would do the same thing.. He told me to my face that he was "sick" of us p-car drivers acting like the road is "ours". That was the last straw!!!I have had enough!! I informed him that most p-car drivers are law abiding, tax paying citizens and I didn't appreciate the fact that
1) he "assumed" the car was stolen because of my age and my long hair..(ps, I have a medical degree, so I can look how I want to..
2) he "assumed " that ALL p-car drivers drive like we are on the track..
3) that i could afford a ticket because i drive a porsche..(his words)
4) he drives a mustang gt and that puts him in a knowledgable position. ( he told me this and I informed him being a mustang GT owner, does not make him a professional on Porsches...not even close!!!!
So after ALL that...he took back my 250$ ticket and told me to have a nice day!!!Go figure!!!
