For me it's hard top on or top down all together, I just do not like the plastic at all. It's easy enough to remove that when weather is good I can just take it off and enjoy driving the car top down all together.

We should get together for a drive especially with Mountainman - he knows all roads around here very well!

I have been to a couple of meetings at Harmony - have a couple of young boys so spare time is hard to come by !
Good idea on the get together.Tuesday would be great as they are calling for snow,I do have a hardtop on.LOL.The hardtop in Shelby is still on the car so all the hardware is still there and it is BLACK,would look good on your white car.They are great people to work with.

Did someone say get together and ride.I'm game.It's about time to go to Greenville to THE GREAT WALL for some great Korean food.

Rooster,

Sounds good! Greenville also has an amazing cars and coffee every month. We can try to contact local forum members for spring drive. Thanks for heads up about the Shelby guys, sounds like you have seen the car.

Slate,

I think your question is a great one, I have wondered this myself which is why I made the post.

Porsche9,

I like your answer to State's question, that is biggest reason I am interested. Soft tops are great but plastic window tops require lots of care. Having a hard top is cool, I really like Caymans. Having removable hard top means having best of both!

Gary

I use my hardtop from October to May since a no touch car wash is the only option in the winter. Also like the heated window. Scraping ice off the convertibles plastic window is not possible....
