Poll: Should Crashy #2 become a Yaris Truck or Convertible or ...?

[edmscan]

Being a practical person (and I know this isn't going to be popular) .. I just wonder how suitable a convertible would be in a northern state like CT. Maybe he should fix it up for his daughters to drive around town ?

I just cannot see a convertible working where I live (except during our short summer) and we have a similar latitude as CT.

I know that everyone wants something cool. I think that something cool can be made out of a stock Yaris.

I actually own a 92 Toyota Celica GT convertible that I picked up last fall. In CT a convertible can get a reasonable amount of use (typically from about mid/late march to mid/late October). My daughters are 13 and 9, so they still have a couple of years before they will be driving anywhere other than around the property.

One voice in my head keeps saying "you bought it for $2K, put $1K into it, and turn around and make a couple of thousand on it." Fortunately that voice keeps getting kicked in the head by the other six crazy ones.

Yea .. I guess your daughters won't be driving it to Home Depot anytime soon. My sister has a BMW Z4 convertible that she drives in the summer (she lives in British Columbia .. west of here). I have driven in it .. and it is wonderful. I guess seeing as how you have your "normal" Yaris you are really free to do anything you want with this "crashy2" Yaris. Whatever you decide ... i'm sure it will be an adventure.

Oh ... MadMax, that is one awesome convertible. I would vote for a convertible like you have shown. I would totally want to drive it.
