    My dad used to say "You want something to cry about? I'll give you something to cry about".

    Or "Don't make me pull this car over"

    He didn't believe in giving warnings.

    To provide a sleeker profile and make the car look more expensive, which was the root of all customizing. Or at least that's what the old timers tell me.

    Less metal, less glass = LIGHTER! [​IMG]

    Less frontal area = more aerodynamic! [​IMG]

    Less top = looks cooler [​IMG]

    All three added up = better mileage!!! [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Toss in a 70s reject four banger and cruise that heap all night for pocket change...and people will think the buzzin' means it's still runnin' a STOVEBOLT!

    1. Saves the lives of a lot of bugs
    2. Consequently fewer bugs to clean off windshield
    3. results in longer life for my squegee & ice scraper
    4. Can change lanes by going under 18 wheeler trailers
    5. People cant see in your car as well so you can drive nekkid if you want( BFD, I'm old, I don't toke, been married too long for car sex)
    6. And last but not least no one asks to borrow my car because they can't see out of it
