What are the pros and cons of owning a soft-top convertible/spyder

>>16681281
Pros:
Wind through your hair
Chicks dig it
It's a motorcycle with 4 wheels to a woman
They generally are sporty intrinsically
Cons:
You can't open or close the top while moving in most cases
You can't listen to your eurobeat in an acoustically good environment
If you roll and you don't have roll loops, you die.

Looks good with the top down, shit with the top up. So if you live somewhere like florida where you can always have the top down then go for it.

Pros: They're usually pretty track oriented compared to sedans. If you want to get a fun car without doing your research they're what most people bet on.
Cons: Cold weather, piss poor security, eventual sealing problems, looking like a homo

If you live in a crimey area, you shouldn't be driving a convertible.

I live in OC, it was the drive back... through inglewood where i was in fear for my life... lookin around like a bitch with a price on his head.... tfw you're racists and it affects your life

I have a r129 500sl
Bypassed the vss sensor that prevents the top from opening/closing while moving, shits great

>>16681463
I have a jag.... im not getting into that lucas shit. Ill die. Also if you bypass the inertia lock for your top, won't the hoses be under extra stress when you raise the top at 50 mph???

Yea but I just dont engage it past 20-30 mph. The way it works stock is that if you even move along at 5 mph it beeps and stops the roof even its half open and doesnt let it do anything until you come to a stop.

Extra con: convertibles are fucking gay looking.
