“I hope you didn’t pay too much for that,” I politely say anytime I see a man sitting casually in a convertible with the top down.

I try to maintain a look of concern. I pause briefly, just long enough for the concern to be shared.

Then I say, “It doesn’t even have a top.”

The experience is always fun and always gets a smile. Funny though, the other day I said it to a guy immediately before I walked into Speedway. As I left, I noticed he had put the top back up. I’m not sure if he was trying to show me it really did have a top, or if he was in the process of re-applying the top anyway.

Either way, it was pretty funny.
