Fred, great to see you got it back on the road again. One thing for sure is that you will blend it a bit more at the Dragon in august. As nice as it is, that Scion stuck out like a sore thumb. 
Some folks thought the tC was the New 2006 S2000 Coupe (prototype)

Damn...that sucks, but it looks awesome now, and that blue top is SEXY!!!
I love the look of the Blue Top also, and she fits like a glove.

Wow. What did you guys bump your heads on, the convertible frame? It looks like the top didn't totally collapse, was the car riding on the windshield frame or roll hoops or both? I wonder if having the top up prevented scrapes to your head as the car was sliding.
Did "ducking" work? I have this paranoia that if I flip the car, the top of my head will get crushed.

My head hit the drivers side glass, and my son is 6'2", so his head hit the slightly crushed convertible frame.
The windshield took most of the force from rolling over and the roll hoops did their job as well. The car was balancing on the windshield frame as we were sliding upsidedown.

He left it Suzuka when quite clearly you would have cared for a more manly and "fast" color like Berlina. Hahahahaha.
Seriously, I'm glad that the seriousness of the crash wasn't any greater and that you're here for me to joke around with regarding the color.
Seeing your lucky fortune in a bad accident, I order you to go buy some lottery tickets of which I will claim about 20% of the winnings seeing that I instructed you to buy the tickets.

Lotto tickets, hmmm 
, Sounds good Urmil, however 10% would be my normal payout to my Bookie. oops I mean instructor.
Also I thought the black color was slowing me down just a little, so I had a Blue top installed instead of Black. My quarter mile times are now a tenth of a second faster.
Now if only I could find some Blue Tires.
