Just as the saying goes "Once you had black you won't go..." Sorry, wrong saying. Rather "Once you own a Vert., you won't let it to look like Dirt"

I have to have the top up for a good six months out of the year. The vert is too hard to see out of with the top up. I also thought it would be inconvenient to have to get in and out of the car to put the top up/down. I keep the Miata for a convertible (I can raise/lower the top from the driver's seat) but got a coupe in the 'vette.

Can't believe we're doing this again! The answer to the question "Coupe or Vert?" is yes.
