Vehicle Soft-tops, Covers and Tarps…
Drips Can Drive You
Da
y
picture this:
you’re in
a convoy,
driving all
day through
a steady
downpour.
it’s tough going:
roads are slick;
visibility’s bad;
nerves are frayed.
just when
you think
things
can’t
get worse—
a cold raindrop
splashes on the
back of your neck,
followed by another,
and another.
your worst fears
have come to pass:
your cab’s soft-
top is leaking.
for the next hundred miles you
endure the slow torment of
drip,
drip, drip
on your neck, down
your back, into your trousers.
you’ve never
felt so cold,
wet and
miserable.
and with every mile you could kick
yourself for not having plugged
the small holes and tears that
made your soft-top a leaky spigot.
now picture a more
pleasant scene:
Once again you’re
in a convoy, driving
the same vehicle
through the same
downpour.
only
this
time you
inspected
the soft-
top
before
you left the
garrison.
you found those pesky
holes and tears, and you
patched them from the inside
with the soft-top repair kit,
now, no matter how hard
it rains, your cab offers
shelter from the storm.
you’re warm,
dry and
comfortable.
