Topdown Christmas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

VinceY · 12-25-2005, 11:56 AM

Took the old lady to work this morning. She's a nurse and is used to working Christmas day. Threw a bow and some lights on the grill and more lights on the rollbar and braved the just below freezing weather with the top down. Some of the people we passed were happy to see the xmas spirit and some needed more coffee.
Merry Christmas all and thanks for the help this year.

very cool (or should I say cold!)

I thought about putting a wreth and some lights on my grill, but I never got around to it.

Hey Vince, Merry Christmas, and thanks for the card. You probably know you gave us a card by now. HEHE.

Cold but way too cool! Glad to see you out in the beast with the top off, just need a big sack in the back and it would look like a sleigh.

Talk to you soon, Darren

Used to pull the top on my red 57 Thunderbird and put on my Santa suit. Got lots of smiles with that too!!

The sad thing here in AZ you would take the top off to cool down. It's in the 80's here.

krue · 12-25-2005, 09:12 PM

Ya'll would probably have been comfortable here today, it was in the high 40's (F of course).

I'm from san luis obispo these days but up in sonoma for the moment..., and no i havent even THOUGHT about putting my soft top on yet!!!! Shorts and t shirt weather!!!

on a side note check out my sho-me LED strobes, they dont look too brite in the pic, but they're just as bright as the ones the cops use in the clear light bars these days.... left lane bandits pull right over when i light'm up with these

I went with amber so i'm legal when i use them in hazardess situations

phantom dually · 12-26-2005, 03:19 PM

Wow is all I can say!

Jimmy72custom · 12-26-2005, 05:39 PM

Your decorated K5 puts a smile on my face. Anything below 50 degrees and freeway equals soft top for me.

As much as I hate most cops I would never want to impersonate one.
