My first car was a convertible (sort of - a 2CV) and I enjoyed it. I've had a few other convertibles and enjoy them for pootling but at higher speeds the noise & buffeting gets boring very quickly. The "higher speeds" thing was not really a problem with the 2CV

Prefer my cars with no sunroof and if possible a black headlining.
Overall, this, interior & headlining both black. With the exception of big luxury cars - my 740d & Flying Spur had / have cream interiors and IMO it works in a big car. Black would feel oppressive. I'm inconsistent like that.
I've always been a fan of coupes, but I am warming towards the idea of a drop top. I considered an M4 conv, but the weight and the effect it had on performance put me off.

I used to love open top cars and have had many over the years, but a skin cancer diagnosis a few years ago alerted me to the benefits of coupe versions.
Wear a sombrero
Can we get branded driving sombreros?
I wouldn't have the confidence to go as far as a sombrero, but I'd add to my collection of bucket hats if an OV9 one was available.
Roof down in the Boxster on a summer's day going down a great country road is one of life's great driving experiences. Visibility isn't great with the roof up, but the roof down experience makes it worthwhile. Even on a clear cold day, heated seats and the excellent heater mean roof down is always an option.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.
