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.

Doing a little image search for the bB Open Deck, that is kind of a cool combination of both worlds.

Check out this concept:

I like that concept design more so than the bB Open deck. Because our car isn't exactly a toaster...that Kia concept would give you the natural curves that goes with our car.

For a truck version that would be a necessity, since I have two kids. I loved the Subaru Brat.

Don't forget the seat belts . A friend from high school had a Brat and would go on trails with it . Those were the days

Love the look of this one. Ever since I bought my Yaris I have had the fantasy of making a rear engine, rear wheel drive Yaris a la Renault 5 Turbo2.
