Matt, while I certainly appreciate the humor of your comment, as a former resident of Oklahoma, who used to live on the shores of Oklahoma City's Lake Hefner, water skied on several of its Lakes, and one who currently makes his living working for Oklahoma based companies from the comfort of his California home, I am compelled to offer the following statistic: Oklahoma,(because of its many man-made lakes) has 11,611 miles of shoreline, more than the combined non-tidal coasts of the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico.
PS. Oklahoma actually comes from the Choctaw words Okla Humma which means…red people
Apologies if that's too BaT-like a response.
Cutting the roof off a unibody shell generally has bad consequences. However, I suppose with that top, you are never likely to want to drive over about 20 mph, so maybe it doesn't matter. It certainly looks charming.
