T-Tops Saves a Man’s Life

Do you have a sports coup? Does it have t-tops? Believe it or not, t-tops are more than a stylish addition to your car when you are doing auto tuning. They can also help with safety and structural integrity of your car.

One great story comes from Brian Barnett, President of www.T-TopsOnline.com . “T-Tops not only provide a convertible like feel to the ride, but have saved numerous lives on numerous past occasions in the process”. One such story is of a Florida man that survived a deadly accident thanks to his t-tops. It appears that the driver panicked and hit the gas instead of the brakes. This in turn caused his Camaro to go airborne, fly over the center median only to then get crushed by a semi-truck, but his t-top bar saved his life.

According to T-Tops Online, “a t-top is a removable roof piece engineered to provide a safer, comparable alternative to the convertible roof. The t-tops mount on to a center bar which protects the passengers in the car against a roll over or from getting crushed by other vehicles. The convertible top fails to provide this option. This is why you might see roll bars added to convertible type vehicles. ”

So when you are thinking of wind rushing through your hair as you zip down the highway, remember that those new t-tops that you just installed may save your life.

Q: How long was the Interactive Wheel System in development?

A: The development time was roughly three months. The short turnaround can be attributed to the fact we already had the vehicle illustrations. Those were created for a legacy system we no longer use.

Q: What future enhancements are envisioned to the Interactive Wheel System?

A: Future enhancements may include the ability to raise or lower the vehicle. But we are hoping the next phase of enhancements will be powered by user feedback. We look at feedback on all items on our site and create enhancements based on user recommendations.
