Don't feel bad. I did that with my 94 RT/10 , except with an Autoform Hardtop. Flew off at about 70.. Did you know they fly like a kite???? actually was kinda cool watching it.. Must have went 100 feet in the air!!

Gerald,
lucky you weren't on a busy highway! I can only imagine the lawsuit if that happened on, say, I-95...

 

[Gerald]

Matt,

IT WAS on a busy highway!! I was soooo lucky. It landed in the top up position just like it goes on the car (flew like a kite all the way back down) and landed about 5 foot in the shoulder of the road. Broke BOTH pillars off the Autoform top and crushed a little bit on the back. Nothing a body shop couldn't take care of for about $500 bucks..

For some reason that struck me as really funny. I'm sure it wasn't at the time.

It is a relief to find a fellow klutz in this online land of perfect Vipers. Mine's in for fascia and sidesill painting for my stunts in the 1st 1000 miles of ownership. I love your honesty.

"doofuses" (plural), probably not. But "doofus"? You betcha! You can also listen to the lady at Merriam-Webster pronounce it for you...

[slaughterj]

who changed my post to doofus ???? jon

I was wondering when you'd notice that - the wandwaving mods frequently "edit" things they consider distasteful, such as the "azzhole" in your title...

 

[UVBINBIT]
