Should I trade my sedan for a vert?

[EREKSHUN]

i say sedan. i have one and honestly i want(ed) a coupe so bad. The more meets and car shows ive gone to or have seen online there are easy 3 to 1. its hard to find a clean sedan like yours compared to a vert or coupe. it has more of the sleeper aspect to it as well.

i just say hi as i walk into the car and after they complement you (and they will) i just say (well thats very kind of you to say, thank you.) any other responses usually invokes questions and if your in a rush thats the last thing you want.

I just start telling them the history and they usually nod off and move along.

I vote for one of each. Sedan for Mon - Fri, and vert for Sat - Sun. I often find myself pondering which one is the keeper, especially after my son was born last year. So far, I haven't been able to decide.

I might just actually got this route :) very nice cars though. Verts are all around now and when I save up enough money i'll snatch one up one day

I went to Walmart one morning and when I walked out this lady was snapping pics with her iPad. What do you say in those moments?

I always tell them to "get a good picture!"

Then they usually want to talk about my license plate, so if I'm in a hurry I just pretend they're not there at all and go about my business as usual. I don't actually mind talking about my car though so it's OK.

The weirdest part is when you go inside a store and come out and people are snapping pics :roll:
and you have to walk past them to get in your car

funny when i first came on this forum years ago people kept telling me verts where for chicks only lol.
fast forward to today and verts are now in vogue, go figure ;).

best advice i could give you is by example, ive had 3 E30 M3s and 1 E36 M3 and all while ive had the vert...they have all been sold.

yes the vert has its short comings but if you can store it in a safe place, have all the seals and top replaced and installed CORRECTLY it should do just fine as a DD.

and as others have said before if your looking for attention you found the right car.
not trying to be a show off but i own several high end cars and the vert gets the most attention HANDS DOWN.

in a perfect world having one of each would be sublime :D

That's surprising to hear you say ...Thizzelle. Now that you mention it, I wouldn't be surprised if in 10-20 years ALL cars were power hardtop convertibles. It would be just another standard feature.

[Thizzelle]

I have both. Vert is best for cruising. Hardtop kills most road noise as a fabric top sucks my balls for noise. A lot of adjustments on the vert to make everything fit together good, If done properly top won't leak. Don't leave anything in the car worth stealing. Most people have said the majority but after having bought a vert, I probably will never buy a non-vert car again. Now everything seems to come with hardtop vert witch is better.

well... i tied it to my friend who sat in the passenger seat. big climbing rope you see on trunk. lotttaaaa looks on the freeway.

And he agreed to that??? lol crazy.

[Cabriolet]

Erik, that is hilarious. Looks like a big nut sack. I thought those went out in the 80's. I would have loved to see the expression on people's faces with you driving by. Is that shit tethered to the car too?

I agree with all the pros and cons because there certainly are a few of both but I disagree about the car audio. I have a 50x4w Alpine Head unit, Alpine 2 ways in the back, stock speakers in front and 600W in-cabin 12" shallow sub behind the driver's seat. The bass is awesome for such a small sealed enclosure and because it's in-cabin...no rattles, doesn't need much power, no modifications to the car are necessary, easily removed, it's tucked away and the bass is very clean. Only thing sacrificed is the footwell behind the drivers seat. Some may disagree but I think it's worth it.
