Hi MrSki,
Personally I don't like shortened 'vert', but would love to have a convertible!
Perhaps you're actually waiting for your new, 'T'. Is it a 'vert' by any chance?
You must be counting the days!
Regards,
Alan

I just learned something...I did know vert was convertible and did think verts were also roadsters, untill I looked it up....
RoadsterFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A roadster is a two-seat open car with emphasis on sporty handling and without a fixed roof or side weather protection. Strictly speaking a roadster with wind-up windows is a convertible but as true roadsters are no longer made the distinction is now irrelevant. While roadsters usually have soft-tops, retractable hard-tops are becoming more common. The term "speedster" is closely related, and shares near identical terminology. However, it is normally reserved for cars which rely on very minimalist use of a windscreen, if at all, in addition to the altogether lack of any form of weather protection[/COLOR]

It's just an abbreviation used in typing on forums. Just like the abbreviation used above in reference to owning a 72 corvette convertible. He means a 1972 Corvette convertible, just his abbreviation is acceptable to him.
I see it and use it also. Just like IMO, BB, SB or LOL. Nothing wrong with it but it would sound stupid to use it while talking about the car same as using the other abbreviations I mentioned.
This is a forum that you just need to get your meaning across to a reader, not grammar school.
