That's what I take to/back from work. My box is almost daily driven(probably 3-4 days a week). I just run my errands another day if weather is bad.

A 1993 Ford Ranger with 125K. The last 8 years only replaced battery, fan belt, and two rear tires. I never worry where I park.

It has 103k total on it right now, and if a control arm busing or something has an issue, that's fine. It'll be the first mechanical failure that the car will have. The only items that have been replaced are wear-related: the timing belt and the brake pads.

So, one vote to leave the top up. That's what I'm leaning towards... any others?

Your Lexus is nealry 14 yrs old. I don't think replaceing the CC is out of line considering.

10 year old Jeep Grand Cherokee...and the picture tells why. I work mainly from my home, so the truck still doesn't have many miles on it. Notice the two Porsches in the garage under their covers.

My A4 is my commuting daily driver. I work in downtown St. Paul and the ash from the freakin' power plants and steam plant coat your car everyday. Don't want to be figuring how the hell to get that off my black top. 
The Audi is also better when you are hauling landscaping stone home from the nursery.
