Default Hello from Los Angeles!

What's up guys!

Excited to be apart of S2KI, my first online forum ever! I recently purchased my first 2006 AP2 with about 69k miles. It's been my weekend warrior ever since and it's been nothing but amazing. Hoping to become a lot more active in this community as I've always appreciated an automotive platform with high engagement and great people. Enjoy some pics of my past back road incursions with my little beast

Check your top straps. It looks like they may be worn out and not pulling the bar all the way back. As a result, the top stays way too high when retracted.

Welcome! This is what the top down should look like. I happen to use the tonneau cover for months on end to keep it clean and protect from the sun. I live east of Sacramento so it does not rain most of the time:

Thanks man. The previous owner had the whole car PPF'd with Llumar Matte PPF and it gives the whole car a matte look. The oem paint should still be intact underneath haha
