T-tops or convertible I am interested in buying an F body car, but I can't decide between a convertible and t-tops. This will not be a daily driver, but a 'fun' car.
Please post with your opinions on the plusses and minuses of each.
Thanks!

T-tops. convertibles are heavier, certain parts won't fit on them, etc... Just seems like more to break as well. It all really comes down to personal preference though.

T-Tops for sure 
90% as fun as a convertable, without all the hassles. Those being more weight, less available parts, weaker structure, more expensive insurance, and less security.

T-top, vert's are great on a nice day but don't make up for the weight, parts that don't fit, things that break or the lack of security when some dickless wonder steals your stereo ect.

Thanks for the input. Parts not fitting a vert was mentioned a few times...what kind of parts? How much heavier are they?
Also, wind buffeting is said to be worse on the t-tops but what about wind in general between the two? I have driven a ttop car but not a convertible. Other verts (other car types) I have ridden in have ranged from very little wind to unbearable.
