Driving a car with no top is different then driving down the road in your regular type cruiser.
Some things to consider before taking your little baby out for a spin...
*Choose lipstick over gloss. The wind is gonna be blowin baby and your hair is like a moth to a flame. Hair covered in lip gloss is just not cute.
*When your driving with the top down it helps if your a Hat girl. Can't pull off the hat Kelly Ripa style? Then stop wearing your sunglasses to keep the sun out of your eyes! Use them in the way they were intended to keep your hair in it's oh so stylish place.
*It doesn't hurt to keep an elastic in the glove box. Exiting the car with a mane like a lion is like so 80's.
*Bugs are not your friend. Do a teeth check before exiting the car. No seriously, check em, girls are not pretty with wings of bugs between their pearly whites.
*Do not make eye contact with anyone. Ever. If you do, be prepared for conversations with complete strangers. Apparently because you are cruising with no roof you are now easy....to talk to. Suddenly, every dude from the over confident 16 year old with his cocky friends and learners permit, to the senior citizen with the coke bottle glasses thinks they can try out a pick up line on you. (Okay so I will admit this part is a wee bit nice for a gals ego)
Last but not least...
*Don't park under trees. Do you know what lives in trees. Birds. Bird poop is the enemy. Ewww.

The rules for riding a motorcycle are not much different...
LOL, when I get mine I will take your advice! I promise.
Birds find me now matter where I am. little buggers love to poop on me.
heh heh, on the 16 yo and the old coke bottle glasses men. I about pee'd my pants on that one
Aaaahh, how a good old fashioned pick-up line can brighten any girl's day :)
Good to know if I ever have a convertible ever!
I don't own a convertible, but I will keep this in mind for future use. And I totally agree with the pick up lines and the ego boost. :)
Ok now I realize I need a convertible to be cool
Too funny-I will remember if I ever have a car like that.
I will have a convertible during my midlife crisis.
Wait, I'm 48. I'd better get going on this!
When I was in high school, I had a VW Cabriolet and what you said in this post was spot on, especially the whole lip gloss thing! I also needed the radio on SUPER LOUD! I could never hear a thing with the top down. I miss that little car...those were the days! :)
Lips gloss and whirling hair! Ugh! That is the worst look ~~ ha! ha!
All the cons about covertibles and yet, we STILL love 'em!
eeeewwww! bug check for you teeth... thats really kinda gross!!
Funny...bird poop, never thought of that one!!
All great tips, especially the parking under a tree.
Good to know!!! You have now crushed my dreams of wanting a convertible.
Ha! Very funny. The bugs - yuck! Lady Di would second the part about trees but not because of the birds. Hee hee. Thanks for stopping by. We LOVE your comments. I am stealing some time to return the love. Have a great day.
I always have my sunglasses on my head...always!!!
My dad has a convertible and I practically BEG him to put the hood up when I go in it - I can't bear my hair all over the place. Who thought convertibles were cool anyway?
No Grandma this time?
Wish I knew all of this before renting a convertible for my senior HS prom...
Doesn't the windshield still stop the bugs from smooshing into your teeth?
At least you're still hot enough that the 16 year olds want to hit on you!!
HAHAHA, still worth it I assume!
Love it! I would love a convertible, but probably not practical with 4 and a half kids!:-)
great tips, i'll remember those when i get a convertible. right now i have a mom crossover to haul the kids and their stuff around
LOL, I wouldn't want a convertable in our very sunny and rainy country!!
LOL! I just got a little black CLK and I've been having a blast tooling around with the top down. These rules are great. :)
Reagan has recently started exclaiming, "Look Mom! There's no lid on that car!" whenever she sees a convertible!
Luckily for me, My hot impala only has a sunroof huh? I still fear bird poo though!
Only if you're driving a sexy convertible - ever see a topless Cruiser?
I rest my case :-D
ps: great post ;-)
Tips with a generous serving of humor.......
Thanks!!!! ( but I'm not your "Convertible Type" of girl..... I just barely had the training wheels taken of my bike....)
