It is better for you to get a convertible than someone in California despite your infamous weather. With a convertible in California you will get sunburned pretty bad and you will still sweat.
This is the UK we only do road speeds in MPH not KPH. We're metric for just about everything except speed limits and alcohol. Speed limits are in MPH and distances on road signs are in miles. All modern British cars are required to have speed displayed in MPH and KPH, like this:
You can only buy draught beer in pints or half pints (or multiples of them) it's illegal to sell in in other quantities. Bottles, cans etc must use metric. This is a consumer protection law to prevent you paying for a pint and not getting a full measure.
I've never been in a convertible per se, I've been on a motorcycle and a jeep which had no roof just a roll bar.

I've been busy on my third book, Book 3 in my Draconia series. I'm getting close to a moment that I've been waiting for ever since I started working on this series 8 years ago. A battle where Humans fighting alongside their dragon allies against alien invaders. I will have Human fighters in the air with dragons engaging alien fighters.

Identical to American cars then. My mistake. I love the metric system but I do prefer MPH over KPH myself.
The beer thing on one side sounds like a good idea but I remember that bars do put them in small or even larger glasses than pint or half pint size. Usually either for high alcohol content like lets say a Russian Imperial Stout which at minimum is 9% and up to 15% (which knocked me on my ass, good times).

I found this site just over a decade ago, and never once knew of it. Well, I'll be the first to buy something in 2013 then. I collect mugs usually from places I visit, one from DITL would be nice to add to my collection as your site has been very useful for me over the years.

One of the few legitimately cool things about the Army was the Iltis in summer. Throw the top and doors in the stowage and drive around all day, off road with endless sky and wind.

Then you hit a stump and its all over.
My brother made the serious mistake of letting me drive it. He still loves me though.
