Well I'm from Minnesoooooota as well. What about a Nissan Z convertable (idk what models came in a convertable, if at all besides of course the 350Z). Maybe an S2000 but those would be too pricey probs. Maybe a Mustang or Camaro conv. Even a Chrysler Sebring conv could work. Those are the only moderatly priced (bar the S2000) convertables I can think of. Being winter, people selling them might be reducing the prices so now is a good time to buy a convertable.
