Default Convertible Vette in SF Bay Area; No garage.

Hey all,
New to forum. Planning to get a used c6 or 7 next year.
i really like the profile of the convertibles but I don’t have garage space at home.
Am I asking for trouble parking it outside in the rain?
Should I just focus on coupes and forget about getting a soft top?

thanks

They only problem I had with my Vette top was that someone stabbed it with a knife or a screwdriver. I have never had a problem with the rain. If you ever see rain failing to bead up on the top, apply Ragtopp or 303 fabric protectant as soon as you can after you clean and dry the top. I live driving with the top down.

Living in California is the best excuse for a convertible, my garage is occupied by other stuff, my driveway got 2 projects so my convertible C4 is parked on the street, no issues at all, i even made a custom cover for it just to protect it from the sun.
