Since I moved to the PNW six years ago, I learned to follow the seasons like a Sasquatch.

Spring time is my favorite season; it marks the end of the dark, dreary, wet winter. And there is no better vehicle for Spring than a convertible!

April marks the start of the snow melt and the Skagit Tulip Festival.

Two weeks ago I got to go to Mount Baker; 45 miles east of here. They got a ton of snow this year.

Today I got to go to the Skagit Tulip Festival; 25 miles south of here

Next month they reopen the North Cascades Highway around Memorial Day. I've been making it an annual ritual to cross the mountain passes as soon as they reopen.

More to come.

If you own a convertible, share some photos!

Beautiful.

I was traveling for work this past week, and had a Mustang convertible. Temp was in the mid 70s, so I had the top down several times.

There is nothing quite like open-air motoring.

Watch for motorcycles 🏍.

I got a 1998 Chrysler Sebring JXi when I first moved to Los Angeles. It was a great car.

Nothing quite as wonderful as seening an attractive, sexy woman driving around with the top down.
Only thing that beats it is when.............
The convertible top of the car is also down !!

The rhododendrons are in full bloom here in the PNW.

Spring is absolutely gorgeous here. Almost makes the long, dark, dreary winters bearable...

Since my leisure activities are limited by "honey" demands and old age fatigue, I chose to send my '64 Valiant convertible to a restoration shop to take care of a few of the less pleasant tasks to make it ready for the summer. I just got it back so now I'm ready for warm summer nights and an occasional car show.

Last year, my wife traded in her '14 200 convertible for a new 300.
