Talking Well It's Been Two Months Now With the Vert

Now that I have had the car for two months I am 100% satisfied with the decision to go with the vert (looks and luxury over power)
I have always wanted a vert and am so glad my first one is a Camaro, I am also blessed to have this car during the time my car has transitioned to "toy" status and I just drive it for pleasure instead of for work.

I really enjoy this car a whole lot more than I did when I had my hard top (Lil' Blue Coupe) Many folks said dont get the convertible, its noisy in the wind,(actually it is rather quiet), you will never have the top down in this area(wrong again, I have the top down all the time), its nothing but problems(not an issue yet), it will leak (how would I know....the tops always down, lol), etc...

Today I had the most fun in it to date, I took my Dad out for Fathers day for a nice cruise around town in it. I could tell right away he was rather impressed especially with the top down, ya he also liked my hardtop, but he REALLY likes the soft top. I offered for him to drive it but he was a bit shy and declined the offer, Ill work on him, I know he will break one day and then he can get in her and let her loose.

permagrin all the way.........

I had to listen to the same thing. I don't see very many verts in this area but I do see a lot of hard tops. I like being a little more unique. No regrets.

Shouldn't have to worry about too many leaks in the desert....

Glad you had a great day with your dad, and the car is working out well for you.

Although I'm taking mine in tomorrow for a new canvas top, I wouldn't trade her for anything! I absolutely love this car! Congrats on a wise choice. Wishing you many miles of Permagrin and Happy Pappy's Day!

When your free trial is up tell them to cancel, they will offer you a discount, if you don't take it you will get an offer in the mail that will be even better....

I love Classic Rewind, but my subscription ran out. I will wait for the in mail offer. I hope you keep and use sunscreen in your vert. Especially in Vegas.

You should be able to get a six months for 29.99 deal. $5 month is a great deal!

What does that black screen behind the front seats do? Is it easily storable?

I have been testing the windscreen out. It is most effective at freeway speeds wth windows up.....barely any wind buffeting and it makes it so u can hear the radio better. Is worth having IMO. And yes it rolds u nicely for easy storage
