It takes a different breed to drive a convertible with the top down.

When I met my wife, we were both coming off divorces. She wanted a Targa; never owned a Porsche before. I wanted a new truck. We each got what we desired. She had her top off more than on like in her younger days with a '67 Austin Healey. Probably never did have the top up on the Healey.

I drove around in the truck nice and cool. You know the A/C in 911s up to the 964 series sucks, right? Fast forward a bit and she's driving a '67 VW convert. What's with the '67's? Finally all the converts go and she has a sedan. Actually a '96 Impala Super Sport. Got within a month or 2 or paying that off and it's gone. What's next?

A '62 356 B non sunroof coupe. Not a hint of A/C in that skate. 1 year and that's gone. My choice that time. So, eventually she returns to her roots. Well, in cars anyway. She won't let me see her gray hair. It gets colors that only come on expensive dogs whose hair drags on the floor when standing up.

Yes, a Boxster. Seems like the logical answer: a Porsche and a convertible...with good A/C. So there we are.

Except she likes that Jaguar of a sedan that I got in place of my Carrera. Windows up and cold A/C.

I told her.
