I have two verts and ill never go back. had a coupe and a 4 door and well im sorry but every car meet i go to every time i get gas everyone comes up to look at it and ask questions plus u dont awals see them and its also nice to do 140 with the top down. also u can cut down on the weight with removing all the sound denting remove the lead box in the trunk get some mason bars. yeah u cant run it on a track but how many times a month do u spend at a track? also with the Hard top road noise is cut in half. and i have no leaks because i replace all my window seals.

I think i can live with those haha but yeah garage is a must. I have a garage but we dont park any cars in there at the moment :( but a hardtop cover is always an option :)

You got it right here ^^^^^^^


The last pic is when I put the hardtop on

Totally changed the noise level
And the car

I drive my vert year-round through snow and everything the Wisconsin winter can throw at me...the top is down as long as the temp is around 60 or higher.

I love my vert. It is so much fun to drive. I, too, notice that I get more attention in that car than in any other car I've driven. The noise is pretty bad, especially on the highway. I keep mine in the garage when it isn't pretty enough outside to drive with the top down. On a sunny day or a nice night, it is more than just a drive, it is an "experience". :-)

All that being said, if you can save up and buy the vert as an additional car, and not have it be your ONLY car, that is the best possible situation.

I love the vert, but wish it handled like a coupe.
It's just awesome for cruising or fast driving on backroads with the top down.
The speakers are all blown, but the exhaust is loud.

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

yea but i usually like to get home before 4 in the morning

this was my main concern because we do have a garage but it's filled with all sorts of crap and have not been used as a car garage in years.. more like a storage.



Thanks man. But yeah i barely see any e30 sedans around. Mostly coupes

That's exactly what I meant man. A clean sedan is becoming more rare in the scene.

OP, if you dont have a garage, get a hard top for the vert or stick with the sedan or coupe.

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.

well congrats to you for living in a nice neighborhood. in the bay area, it will get cut if you have anything worth stealing. it also rains a lot more here. and i have new rubber and it still leak in the front corners, just a little. Also when you open the doors, there is no rain gutter so, it runs into the car. and about the audio, again, ask any of the audio people here and they will tell you, vert audio sucks. I sank 1000s into my audio system to get anything good out of it.
so before you fly off the handle and say what im saying is not true, for the guy who will be living in the same area as me, think.

Well thanks i guess hah. But the gutterless top is to be expected. Regardless, if its raining and you get out of the car, you should expect to get wet in any car. And i agree, if you want a badass audio system, dont get a vert. But why would a vert owner even consider getting a badass sound system and not expect break-ins? Like i said I'm fine with my factory premium speakers and upgraded cd player. I dont drive the car for boom booms though, i drive it for the pleasure i get. I have 25 yr old rubber with no leaks... But if you say your area is notorious for break-ins then i'll take your word for it and agree on that part.

I had 2 verts until recently - a red and a white. After we sold the red because we had too many cars and the red was just not quite as good condition, my wife and I are always now saying, "We should have kept the red."

I've also had 2 BMW sedans, and a Miata. I loved to drive them all but the verts were always the most fun. There are negatives and inconveniences involved but nothing ever beat picking up my son after class and having all the women on the campus check me out.

It's a real value judgement. And only you can decide.

[EREKSHUN]

Well you convinced me.

babes chat with you at lights

Well you convinced me.
