Just some miscellaneous ramblings...

Re:  those who keep their top up during fine weather

Although it hasn't really been all nice days here, I decided that I
*had* to at least put the hardtop in storage when, on a particularly
gorgeous morning, a topless Capri owner waved at me (the car was
topless, not the driver, gutterbrains...  :^) with a smile...  :^P

I try to keep the top down most of the summer, only putting it up when
it rains.  A few times, I've managed to get too much of a good thing and
had to put the top up before I started blistering...  An August trip
from RI to MD can do that to yah...  I didn't ever think the white band
across my chest would disappear...  :^)

Re:  car covers

I've tried to consistantly use a car-cover since I've bought my Miata.
Anytime I expect to leave my car cover outside in the daylight for
extended periods of time, I've put it on.  (Expecially when the top was
down.)  Reasons range from avoidance of bird-droppings to sun-fading.
Some think I'm a bit odd for it, but I suspect my car will last longer
than others...  The only bad part is trying to put on the cover after a
fresh wax job.  It just doesn't want to do what I want it to do.
