Did you buy a cab with a hardtop thinking it was a coupe?

Do you ever remove the hardtop during the winter to use the cloth roof from time to time to avoid the cloth roof looking like an old person's face?

[@damos_cars]

I ended up removing the hardtop for most of winter simply because the hardtop rattled and added a lot more weight! :-)

Where and how do you store your 911 hardtop??
