I said most people. There's always an exception.
They look good, but most regret it or end up never actually taking the top down, which is the reason they bought it in the first place. [Reply]

Most people who buy a convertible never take the top down? :-)
After a while, yes. It's either a pain in the ass, or they realize it's too hot or too cold or too windy...
Just going off of the 20 or so people I've known who have bought one. But there is a chance that they are the only ones on earth who had any regret. [Reply]

We convertible owners are swarming you like killer bees.
I don't have a car now, but I've owned four different convertibles among the six cars that have been my daily drivers over the years. Convertibles are awesome.
The only time they're not awesome is on long highway trips, because the road noise is too loud. But I seldom did that, or if we did it usually happened in my wife's car. And the last convertible I owned was a retractable hardtop, which gave me the best of both worlds. [Reply]
update-
First flight into Tuscon cancelled.
Got in late Tuesday.
Bought car Wednesday. It looks good. Minor body issue. Typical for a 7 year old car.
Good price. Runs well.
Headed out. Decided to go through Las Crusas and White Sands. I do like the fact that 2 lane roads in NM are 65!!
I am in Santa Rosa, NM. Ready to get some sleep. KC tomorrow. [Reply]
