And if your really want to get blown, get a Vert and put the top down ( plus your s/o's if she let you 
)

heck yea!
HECK YEA! Every friggin chance I get. It takes literally 3 minutes to get the roof off and into the hatch. It's the only reason I got the coupe instead of the Z06! Pseudo-convertible.

Gotta get me some of those wind deflector thingys that pop the trunk open a little.

"I'm smart enough, and I'm good enough, and doggonit, people like me!"
Rarely hits 70 degrees up there? Brrrrr! Course it doesn't do it here often enough either. It's been five or six days since it was 70!

i always drop the top in my convertable even when im on the highway...feels AWESOME...but if you have some books with lose papers in them they will be all over your trunk and sometimes even try to fly out through the passenger side...thats if your riding alone...I LOVE DRIVING WITH THE TOP OFF...thats the main reason i bought a convertable
