Convertible -- yes. Car -- no.

I am almost the proud owner of a new "topless" vehicle... with a top speed of about 4mph.  My hair will definitely NOT be streaming out behind me as I cut swath after swath of green grass.  Maybe it will be a baby step toward the actual convertible?  

For years I have been afraid of a riding mower.  I can just see myself toppling over.  My probable mower has little baby wheels on the "deck" that I am counting on to keep me upright. They let me take a test drive inside the store in a somewhat vacant area.  A crawling baby could have passed me.  I suppose I'll get more comfortable and start zipping around.  Maybe, if I pretend I'm in a convertible on the highway.

The worst part is that it will mean a major cleaning of the garage.  There is no way it can fit in there unless a lot of other items leave.  So, start driving by my curb to see if you want one of 2 old patio tables, several battered lawn chairs or a lot of other "priceless" stuff.
