Very true. I was born in Florida and lived there all my life except for a 4-year stint in Atlanta & now 3 years in Alabama. Since the age of 25 I've only owned 1 hard-top vehicle. Convertibles are 100% looked at as practical transportation in Florida, with benefits. If anything they are even more useful in the Winter in most parts of Florida because, as any Floridian knows, top-down with the A/C on in a convertible is normal Summer driving!
