Driving a convertible —*worth it?
 

Got a little spring fever. The idea of getting a used convertible or jeep SOUNDS fun (as do all ideas that go horrendously wrong). Obvious downsides: leaky roof; hardtops are a pain in the ass to get on and off. What other cons are there?

Sunburned head.

I'll never be without at least one ragtop. They all leak water to one degree or another, that's about it.

Pros:

* Passing gas with little to no anxiety
* Easy exit in case of fire
* Being able to look at airplanes and helicopters

Cons

* Toupee coming loose
* Losing your eye to a renegade bumble bee
* Finding a bum in the backseat

Seeing as how you are from Wichita I would go with the Jeep. The weather has been pretty decent here the last two weeks but as you know its going to get hot and miserable sooner than later. At least with the Jeep you can use it during the winter in the snow.

i loved my jeep when I had it; top was always down if it wasn't raining.

I don't have any idea what you just said. I'm still stuck in Salma's cleavage. Jeez louise.:eek:

I have never met a Jeep owner who didn't love there Jeep. I'd probably go with a Jeep with a removable hard top.

I only got rid of mine because I changed jobs and housing location and ended up with a 70 mile round trip commute each day; the Jeep got about 15mpg I think, and I just couldn't afford the fuel costs at that time.

would still have it to this day, otherwise etc.

I've driven one a few times. I didn't like it, but that's just me. I don't like sitting in the sun.

Insurance is higher.....

This. I sold mine due to MPG....but damn....I loved it.

you could always get the bikini top like I had to shield the sun during super hot weather.

...I need to stop thinking about the Jeep;....not having it anymore bums me out lol.

Because people are more likely to drive like a moron and wreck it?

Yep, I just got one this winter and love it. I'll never own anything else.
