That's what I was thinking. "Just roll the windows up as far as they
will go." :-) A guy I work with (this happened about 7 years ago)
noticed I was into VW's and tried to sell me a VW Bug he'd chopped the
top on. I drove out to his place and checked it out and it SUCKED.
I mean the chop job was BAD. He wasn't home and his wife wouldn't
even let me attempt to start the car. I only asked to start the car
to be polite because 5 seconds after being within 5 feet of the car I
knew I wouldn't even tow it back to my house for free out of sympathy.
Her saying "no" was just the reason to back out of ever being a part
of that deal. Not today... I don't see the attraction to chopping
the top on any vehicle. I guess some people like the look? Because
it sure as hell isn't functional.
