Is there a reason why this is not in the 911 tech section?
Is someone's Pelican Parts computer stuck in the OT cut and paste mode? What would Lew Rockwell say about a new top? Why is the sky blue?

But if our Air force should pull out of the sky, can U imagine what the price of air will become? It will literally be a life changing event.

Was it paid for using American Dollars? Backed up by a govt that "needs to be overthrown" I believe is your usual quote?

It would be so funny if he had it done custom and it is a Rebel Flag instead of black.
I am sure he did it in black though, man, your Targa needed that. Glad you got it done, I have stopped folding mine when I take it out since the conversation we had about the raises in mine. Its flattened out nicely.

Yeah, Jim, the old cover was pretty ragged. Even though this is now very flexible, new vinyl, I'm thinking of proceeding that way anyhow. The rebuild did include anything that needed replacement or restoration down to the pin covers and clips. It's as if it were a new top. I see the children have been given keyboards again, they apparently have no idea how silly they look. |

This is hilarious. Post a normal car topic in the OT forum and wait for the peanut gallery. LMAO. I think I'll throw some bait out myself in time, just to see. Gotta be better than pissin' about the world's jerks. (Yeah, I'm talkin' about me, not you.)

Pat - Don't let it bother you, your ability to laugh at yourself when others poke fun makes for a fun life. Like I said in the Dragon thread, I have never let someone making funof me bother me, I am too confident in myself to let it bother me. Or maybe I am too stupid to realize I should be mad, no bother, I am happy in moy little world. MY top is out, its a perfect day for a lunchtime drive.

 Jim, if I wasn't having fun out here, I'd leave. These childish, rather than the benign childlike descriptor, boys are of less bother and much like the silly yipping of an inbred Pekinese dog, on the other side of a fence. They really don't get it and likely never will, but their posts illuminate their childishness rather consistently, we adults would have to invent them if they left the forum.
