If you're going to bend a convertible do it with style (from Mark104's URL)

I was going to give a smart-*** answer about the people who've tipped convertibles being unable to tell us about it....

But, then i realised someone might get upset & hit the roof. So it's not a role i'll be taking anytime soon.

I had a 63 E type ser 1 coupe in 1965 which I was hopping hills in the mountains with (getting air) when I landed on a patch of ice in a shady spot and hit a ditch which then rolled it multiple times along the ditch. I had no seatbelt on (not many folks wore them then) and was able to open the door and walk away without a scratch. The car was toast. I always thought of these cars as the safest thing out there. I always figured I was put here for some purpose after surviving that. Still don't know what it was though!
