You know what I don't like about convertibles?

People thinking it’s okay to talk to me at a light.  It’s not.  Same rules apply.  I’m looking straight ahead.  I do not care that there is nothing physically over my head.  I’m not looking to engage you, please stop thinking that not having something over my head means I want to talk.  I do not.  I just like visibility snd fresh air.

Sorry, we assumed that that you bought a convertible to be more engaged with your surroundings. Maybe wear a full face, blacked out, motorcycle helmet emblazoned with flaming skulls to discourage contact with other humans?

Just noticed that there was a heavy dose of snark in this but I'm gonna leave it because you're not the only one who is getting cranky as he gets older ;)

Driving by a fried chicken place on the way home makes me so hungry for dinner.

Solution - slowly roll the window up as they’re gawking at you. Don’t look a t them or acknowledge them. Just roll up the window and don’t give them the dignity of a response.

It’s not all bad, the local Mexican joint was roasting up some carne asada and I just smelled the perfect blend of old car (oil + smog)    from some passing hooptie -ass Nissan 200SX.

Treat them like an annoying,  overly talkative chauffeur?

I just have selective hearing when I drive mine. I f I don’t want to talk, I pretend I don’t hear them.

I was in my 914 and someone started talking to me, i swing my head only to be looking at their door, and then having to look up.

Only time I’ve ever had people try to talk to me when driving is on my classic motorcycles and my chopped SV650. All had loud pipes and I could hear anything they were saying. I just nodded and gave a thumbs up.

You have a convertible ?

I never had anyone say anything to me in my convertible, but my exhaust was pretty loud.

I see convertibles (with the top down) like motorcycles, there is a narrow window of opportunity when it’s fun instead of being a chore.

Worst time is on a hot sunny day, which is the opposite of what is advertised. Hot and sunny in city driving or stop and go is torture. I think if they wanted to break those prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, they should have drove them around in traffic on a hot day in Chrysler Sebring convertibles with the top down. They would have broken them in a hour.

But driving at night on cool (not cold) evening in my Mustang GT with the top down was magic. I occasional day dream about getting another just to experience that again.

Only thing people tell me when I’m driving with my top down is “Hello Santa!” which isn’t too terrible . The other day I saw a guy in an right-handed MGA and I told him “Hey n ice car! but the steering wheel is on the wrong side,” to which he replied, “No, it’s on the right side.”
