I also offer my sympathy to Saffs.
Reading this thread makes me wonder how much less safe convertibles are. In a head on collison at 140mph, a roof over your head will not make much difference. But if you take a turn too fast and hit a tree and/or roll over, I would image that a 911 coupe is going to be a lot safer than a Boxster or any other soft top car. I do catch myself driving more exhuberantly in my 911 coupe than I did in the convertible I used to own, and I am sure it is partly because I feel a lot better protected. Wishful thinking, perhaps ... And having that gas tank in the front cannot be good.
