so at the show this weekend almost EVERYONE had a light bar or style bar in their convertibles

So i ordered one today.
I saw the MMD screen paired up with the MMD style bar and they looked awesome together. Since i already have the MMD screen i think the style bar will add a touch more interest to the back half of the car.

Cops here are really cool. Or so I hope. I've never had them be mean to me. But I hardly talk to them besides when they were watching where I work cause an older lady got robbed outside around 8pm one night. And they watched from 6pm-11pm for about a month. And since I closed every night I got to talk to a lot of cops. Even the captain. Which he was very cool he even had a dark greenish Camaro. Lets just say I didn't know it was a cop car till I asked him where his car was and he pointed to the sexy car. And whenever I see that car I tell my parents thats a cop car!

I wanted a Miata or a S2000 but my mom said they were to small. So I got a mustang and I love it. I'm basically the only one that drives it. Since its 100% mine. I just wish it would stop raining EVERYDAY so I can drive with the top down. But we are going down to Florida on Saturday. So top down everyday is coming

It has been quite rainy here in NC lately, including this weekend. But fear not, the best weather is on it's way. When Fall comes it doesn't get any better for drop top weather. Have a fun trip to Florida.

I changed some since I retired then. My Chiefy would have shot me if I didn't show up in court, even if it was on my day off. Of course if you're careful the Cops aren't going to bother you. They have other things they need to do than messing with someone doing the right thing.

Hey Patrick

Most of my visit was with my brother....had lots of family type biz to resolve. Hung out mostly in Citrus Heights helping with his house, but I did spend a day in Walnut Creek with a bunch of his old college friends.

I went to a street fair in Roseville last Tuesday nite and there was a car show, mostly older stuff...hot rods, muscle cars, etc....nice stuff. Man, it was hot....107 degrees a few days. It's been nicer in NJ!!!

Yeah I know it was in the mid 100s the past few weeks. We're possibly moving out there - not looking forward to that heat! Well hit me up next time you make it out here!

Thanks Darren. Despite it's relatively stock-ness, I get a kick when it draws admiring crowds at shows. Sometimes I regret not looking a bit harder for RR, SGM, or DIB. Most of the times though it continues to push my buttons. I think the 401A black/cashmere interior has a lot to do with that. I still make excuses to go into the garage just to look at it. It's a classy looking ragtop cruiser with a 6 speed.

The inevitable northeast bad weather will keep it garaged most of the time, but on those clear days with no salt on the roads, it'll get driven, just to keep it shape.

Still, it's gonna be a long cold lonely winter.

Have it vinyl wrapped...you can have whatever color you want. And since you have black, don't even bother with the door jambs or under the hood!

Mine is a keeper. I decided that when i saw how much the carbon fiber stuff was gonna cost.

I have a few serious 'black box' mods on my radar though. All up in the air as to what and when.

One day a coupe might be on the radar but there's a ton of variables before that decision is made.
