re: Why did they stop making cars with T-tops?

My buddy had one of those 80's Monte Carlo's. We drove from Monroe to Dallas with the tops off. That made snorting coke an ordeal. Distinctly remember pulling over & doing it under the florescent lights of a self serve car wash in Marshall, TX.

Driving down the road, you could hold a joint or a cigarette straight up and the ashes would get sucked out a couple of inches below the opening. Never had to use the ash trays.

my next car purchase is gonna be an 02 Trans Am firebird ws6, black, 6 speed, LS1 motor and T tops.

Those would look boss with a pair of truck nuts hanging from them.

I had a 1985 Mustang GT & a 1990 300 ZX, both new, the t-tops always leaked eventually, the Ford practically from the start..the Nissan a much better car in all regards.

T-Tops I can understand the dated look, and defects, as to why you don;t see them today..

I'm actually more surprised why ragtops and moonroofs aren't made as oft in today's cars as yesteryears..insurance liability? durability? etc..

I've yet to take the freedom top off mine. Nice to have it as an option though.

My first new car except mine was silver

I bought a new 1999 camaro years ago and never had leaks

They were really easy to take off and put on. I could pull both tops off my ZX while sitting in the drivers seat and reach them into the hatch. I could also put them back on without getting out if the car.

Mine never leaked. They did get cracked by a girl outside of The Catarie one night. She was pissed at me and slammed her fist into both of them.

They leaked, they leaked a lot.
