Is it just me or does the convertible top to the Barchetta look REALLY wierd when its up??

its because of the tall roll bars im sure

but it sticks out like a soar thumb when its up

Thats because the top is a makeshift piece of crap that can't be used above 70 mph. Its not supposed to be up, its a precationary measure for foul weather when you least expected it. My neighbor said that he's had his car up to 100 with the top on and it was about to combust.
The car was designed to be an open top land rocket.

Got any pics with the top up? I didn't even know Barchettas came with a roof.
