Convertable Owners?
Those of you who own a hardtop,are they worth it? I like they way they look on the car but I dont know if their worth it.Will my top get messed up in the winter if i kept it closed underneath for a few months? My car does sit in a garage and under a cover,but i think i might like to drive it on nice winter days without my top being exposed to the conditions.What are your opinions?

Well, I still havent driven w/ the top down. Right now, the hardtop is on, and it is VERY much worth it (One of the main reasons I payed a little extra for the car).
Advantages:
Looks
Wind Noise
Aerodynamics
Better Heat/AC
Saves alot of wear on the top (even if it is tucked away, the first heat the top gets, it stretches back out).
Built in Roll Bar
Turns and feels ALOT tighter
Disadvantages:
Cost
Takes 30 minutes to put on, about 20 minutes to take off.
Get it :cheers:

It makes the car stiff as a rock. They are rare so your car will be unique. It is easy to put it on and off with practice. I took my cloth top off but I know that it did spring back into shape when I brought it back up for it's last time. :D
