How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Lessons from the Convertible

in Everyday on


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.

    12. 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!!

    14. 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?
