its kind of a pain in the *** if you stop somewhere and have to put the tops on because you are worried someone will do something to your car. better safe than sorry, it can be a pain

Go for what you want and like! Its ture what people have benn saying so far about the + and - of a t-top car. A T-top car has more of a cool facter on it. My car has t-top and i never heard any creaks and body flex and i have benn in some prety hard turns and bumps. The bad part is that DAMB weather striping that only lasts about 2 years in arizona from the heat and they leak, that stuff is pricey im still looking for some good weather striping to put on my car. But in my view i would get the t-top car as it has some more value to it and there prety cool driving it with out the tops. and alot of people here in yuma dont realy have that much t-top cars either.

The day I bought my firebird, took it to the car wash, went through the automatic, and i came out as clean as the car. So then I ordered new weather stripping for it and took it to the body shop so they could put it in, not a problem since.

I say just drive one of those without a T-top one day man ... It's much more of a thrill than with a hard top . Yeah they leaks and yes there's more body flex but da*n it looks good ...
