    I think that we punish ourselves because we hope we can see the big picture. What we hope it will turn out to be. Its that or either we are Masochist.

    A person who would spends time getting filthy, bashed, busted, and burnt just to have a rolling money pit has got to be very Masochistic indeed

    I don't like the idea of snaps either. Would it be possible to have a cover made that encloses the entire cockpit from cowl to trunk with magnets sewn into a hem at the bottom? BTW, that is drop dead gorgeous.

    ntf that is a great idea. or what about the snaps but have a covered button that snaps into the snap hole when the cover is off.

    Barb, probably either idea would work and I think it would protect the car from the elements, but thieves are another question.

    NTFDAY,
    I had never even thought of magnets. I guess if it works on refrigerator doors it might work on a top also.

    Barb,
    I like the idea of snap covers. Hadn't thougth of that either.

    That's why I like to throw these questions out on this forum. You can get honest sincere answers without all of the caustic BS of another forum I might mention.

    John
