Vinyl Roofs: Bad Toupees, Bad Idea

Once upon a time, even the lowly Ford Falcon had a vinyl roof...Three of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen are: 1) the creepy guy in the Burger King commercials, 2) my ex-wife and 3) vinyl car roofs. I once was liquored up on Yoohoo and wrote a column of what I’d like to see happen to things that irked me. I said that people who have cars with vinyl roofs should lose their driving privileges… and people who sell and install them should do hard time at a maximum security facility. I actually received an angry letter from a man whose business is installing vinyl roofs, and he said some of his long-time employees have put their kids through school from money earned installing them. Admirable, to be sure, but their children’s education might as well have been funded by drug money.
