Notes on this Issue:

As some of you might know, myself, and this publication, relocated from Orlando, Fl. (A.K.A. Disney World, A.K.A. the asshole of the U.S.) to Philadelphia this past summer. Along with me, I brought my convertible, and whether or not you like Orlando, Philadelphia, or convertibles I have something to tell you:
 

Convertibles are equally suitable for the winter as they are for the summer
 

Some people think you should only ride with your top-down during the warm, sunny summer… fuck that. I colloquially refer to these people as ‘narrow minded, pessimistic, empty, soulless, probable owners of SUVs that have no need to own an SUV.’ 

For those that have been in a convertible or own one, have you ever put on a big coat, a beanie and went for a lovely, topless drive in the snow? Talk about romance. Talk about beauty. Come on. There are only two reasons you should have your top up:

     1.	It’s raining, or 
     2.	You don’t know how to put the top down

So, next time you have the chance to, while it is still cold, please, have a wonderful, topless, exhilarating, beautiful winter drive.
