I can see where it could last for generations. In the garage.
I wouldn't knock that notion. I never pursued heavy mods on the Mustang, because topless driving really is about slowing down and enjoying the moment. Similarly, I have always been a fan of the Piper Cub's low and slow approach to flying. You can open up the doors and have an airplane version of a convertible, really soaking in the details from an aerial perspective - lean it out right and it's good for 20ish mpg, if MS Flight simulator had its physics right It's really quite nice if you allow yourself what feels at first like a frivolous indulgence.

Although 28mph? Eh.
