    Some guy in a jeep yelled at me "E30 for life!" one day.

    I love driving it with the top down but with the top up not so much.

      I like the idea of a convertible, but having the top up makes the car look too funky for me. I'd go with an NA Miata.

      Don't worry, I still wave at E30 Cabs.

        Right? I wanted a coupe with plans to maybe add a turbo, I never in a million years thought I would want a convertible of any type. But then I saw a deal that was to good not to look at while we were on vacation in Florida on a convertible. I didn't buy that one but my wife got super excited and a few weeks later I ended up with a Calypso vert and I must admit; I love it. It's way different/better than I thought it would be; even with the auto. it is gonna suck when I have to put her away for the winter.

        The other thing I didn't plan on was how much my wife loves it. We were driving with the kids yesterday and she was like, "You know, I'd like to have an Alpine White E30 convertible. I would love that!" Maybe I'll get to add that turbo after all. . .

          Hot summer nights are just great in a cabrio but really I can be happy with almost any condition. When there is a bit of a nip in the air, heated seats and full heat (floor only to protect the dash). I personally like the look of my top up, mostly because it compliments the rest of the car.

          My wife fell in love with my Alpine MT2 that I brought back to life but 3 e30s was a bit much. I sold my very well sorted coupe and kept my triple blue. I even had a stint with a well sorted E36 cabrio, nice but no e30.

          This is usually how we spend our evenings...some sort of sweet run.

            Haven't read all of this but I'll share this life stat of mine. I've owned 8 e30's the first 5 were coupes or 4 doors, since I got my first vert 2 cars ago I've only owned verts.

                I am on my third convertible and really enjoy it. The last few weeks have been great going up to Connecticut for Gfest and Saratoga for another show. I have to thank for my father for my convertible addiction! Lol

                  I had to have an e30 for every occasion. The 'vert is definitely my favorite.

                        Haha, you aren't that far from me either! But a little too much for me right now, I still have some stuff to do to this one.

                          I would only take a vert in Laguna Green or Calypso, if you question my logic go play in traffic.

                          If lucky, the E36 will die peacefully, in its natural habitat, and be given the prestigious honor of donating its parts to an E30

                                Just buy one people and drive it. I used to be the ultimate hater of verts, now all I want are verts. It was like being 17 and driving my first E30 again.
