RE: Thinking about going topless
Very new to the Mustang scene as this is my very first one but I say Vert all the way....There is nothing like it. Everything looks different and the feel is beyond words. Not ever going to race mine but I'll end up modding a little.

RE: Thinking about going topless
Well, test drove the Satin Silver vert today...
05, has MyColor option (my current Sonic Blue doesn't), auto, only one small ding on front fender (same as mine)...it was fun driving a bone stock GT again, got to remember what it was like before my CAI and tune...BIG difference.
After ALL the smoke cleared on the negotiations...I could own the vert for $40 more in my monthly payment, with very little down. I didn't do it...
It was awesome, and truthfully, I might end up just "stopping in" at the dealership tomorrow for another test drive...but it just didn't look as good as my car!
I know to each his/her own, and some definitely don't like my cars "theme", but I've grown to LOVE how the Sonic Blue looks with the black rims/limo tint, etc...I spent about 30 mins with both cars parked facing eachother trying to make the Silver vert look "meaner"...or even stand out from the crowd a little more, just couldn't do it...at least not enough for me to sign on the dotted line today.
Maybe tomorrow? We'll have to see...If I start drinking tomorrow evening, I just might end up over at the dealership again
with a designated driver of course...do they let you sign the papers if your drunk? [8D]

Only get a convertible if you think you can keep the top down more than it's up.
I'm surprised at how many convertible owners who have posted on this thread are showing photos of the car with the top up. What's wrong with you people?
Personally, I think convertibles are more fun. I just feel better driving it with the top down.
(And the only reason the '95 in my signature photo has the top up is that it's sort of my daughter's car and I couldn't get the keys from her when I wanted to take the photo of the two cars together. Normally, they reside about 200 miles apart.)

As a female with a '06 GT vert, buy the vert. Honestly, I believe a lot of convertibles are chick cars.... Mini, Sebring, Miata.... this car doesn't have that look and it darn sure has a he*l of a lot more sound and power than the typical chick car. Not only that, I see a LOT more guys driving the verts than women (and not necessarily with a lot of mods).

RE: Thinking about going topless
I love my new 06 Conv GT. This is my 3rd Conv, and the GT is the best of them. I have a 1 1/2 year old, and his car seat fits in the back. He seems to really like the open air, but not the sun.
Go for it!

Quick, name another convertible currently selling that holds 4 in relative comfort, has a throaty V8 w300 hp, has an immense heritage and turns heads like the mustang for 30 grand!

Agreed they are great with the top down, and ugly as hell with it up. While the coupe is gorgeous all the time.

My wife and I have a Vert. Nice when the top is down but it does look funny with the top up. I still do not regret getting it. Nice to go topless.
