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.
