What I have learned about driving a convertible:
- 60 degrees is too cold to have the top down, even with heat on
- When at a stop light, do not try to clean your windshield. You get a shower and the people in the other cars laugh at you. Ask Ann. We laughed till we cried.
- People tend to tail gate and bully you on the road. They don’t know me do they?
Finally got some good pictures. This car is a lot of fun to drive. We may put flowers on the areas over the wheels. We have lots. They do not have stems, but would look as if they were blowing.

The pics of knoknutz look AWESOME….the car really does look like a blast to drive…..I would have paid money to see you washing your windshield for the first time with the roof down how hysterical…..and people bullying YOU on the road, nope they DON’T know you. LOL!!!

i love the car…and why oh why can’t we have videos of the great moments in life (like that window washing thing)???
personally, though, i am thinking more flowers might be just a little bit of overkill…the visual balance you have now is really really nice…but that’s just my opinion.
as for the bullies on the back bumper…you can always USE flowers..get a nice bunch of say, peonies, and when they get too close you hold up the flowers, let the wind rip off the petals and send them back to the car behind you…

I have seen a VW Beetle around town for months that has the white flowers like yours and it also had the flower hub caps AND flower cut outs on the turn signals. It was the cutest thing. And to top it all off, the license plate said something like “flwr-pwr”. I loved it.

I was asking Ann the other day if more flowers would be too much. We have lots extra. It might be just perfect as it is. The flower petal idea is a good one. I might do that. When people tailgate my brother, he squirts his window, and it always goes back onto the tailgater.
I wanted the license plate “KnoKnutz,” but I did not think they would allow it. I should see.
Anyone know what I did with my little Flip video camera? I cannot locate it.
