Rag top.

I don't hear that term much anymore. Picked it up from my dad. Still use it all the time.

In person I’ll call it a convertible but online I abbreviate to conv.

Maybe we should have a convo about that. I think once we started texting like crazy shortening words has become the norm.

I’m still waiting for farmer to jump in on this one!

VERT!!!

Usually when I am on my keyboard I type things out. My fat old finger on a touchscreen I use abvs. So yes, I try and save as many ms as I can since I am reaching the EoL.

This reminds me of the guy that freaked out over people using more than 1 stir stick to stir their coffee.

For like the next 3 months, people posted all kinds of crazy stir stick pics.

YES, this is so true. The convertibles have now been swept up in that. How about Conv?
