Its more a matter of they kind of "wrap" the subframe so you get the top in place and then you just have to work the whole perimeter to force it over the edge.

New hood ornament to embrace the "green-ness" of it all :)

That pretty much makes the car. I hope it stands up to being a teenage girl's car.

I think she'll be ok once she learns to not use the gas pedal as an on/off switch.
I'm trying to coordinate our schedules to get her into Street Survival when it comes here in March.

I know a LOT of adults who never learned that. It's a literal pain in the neck to ride with them
