Nice Day Convertiblitis

I have to share one of the best reads I have had in years.  I don’t know this guy (yet) but I can tell you he examplifies what we in the Mustang world call a true enthusiast and friend through association.

GrubbDawg, I see you are a relatively new member to these Forums. It saddened me the more I read your post, as it became clear, as I have been member for some time and also own a convertible, you are suffering from a very unique malady. “Nice day Convertiblitis”.

I do not think you, being a relatively new owner, can fully appreciate the degree of false euphoria this malady will cause.

Once an infected owner puts the top down, especially with a Roush convertible, the malady is more serious with the dark color models, the resonating sound of the exhaust as you cruise down the highway can cause the driver to, well, never turn back. This situation can be exacerbated by mistakenly turning up the radio / CD / or MP3 player playing some of your favorite tunes and cruising down the highway, thus falsely allowing yourself to believe “this is the life” and thinking you are having a great time. You are not!! It has been found that many drivers from the East coast have recently been arriving at the banks of the Pacific Ocean and standing on the back seat looking over the ocean and singing “Is that all there is”.

The cure I am afraid is to immediately take the car back to the garage, put up the top and only take it out on rainy days. Sorry.

That is in responce to my 3 hour joy ride last Friday,  Much respect!
