When I was younger we had a summer place on lake Michigan, I actually had blisters sometimes from being on the hot sand after playing for a while.

Honestly, I have a lot of fun with the Z in the rain. It allows me to loosen up the tires a lot more without wearing them out much

Just having the option to put the top down on nice days is just awesome, this is my first convertible, and Im telling ya, i dont think I'll ever go back to a hard top car in the future.

I take it you haven't encountered any problems with the roof mechanism? I have several friends with convertibles who swear they will never get another one. But they've all had leaks and mechanical failures that would turn anyone off of a convertible. The Texas sun gets pretty hot here most of the year, but convertibles in the winter are awesome here.

Nope, never had any issues with the roof mechanism. I am however very pre maintenance savy, so i keep it clean and oil down the mechanism to keep it working without issue.
