[Z-man]

As a track car, I wouldn't invest in a 'vert. However, for a daily driver or a weekend cruiser convertables are great, IMHO.

Last year, we bought a VW Eos for my wife as her daily driver. Sometimes, I am able to steal the keys from her and drive a bit too.

Would I drive her Eos on the track? No way -- I've got my 944 with a slightly modified suspension (400 lb springs, delrin bushings, camber plates...etc). to play with! However, for a weekend jaunt up the country side, I'd much rather be tooling around top-down in her car!!!

I don't use a hammer to drive in a screw -- it's all about using the right tool for the right job.

Side note: Mrs. Z-man's EOS is a hard-top convertable -- which makes it a 4 season car -- some of the rag-top 'verts really don't keep the weather out as well - making them less desireable in the wintertime.
