So, please explain the safety concerns. Also, since I have a convertible MINI, I guess I can only steer it. Even though it has been to the track on multiple occasions.

Ever seen what happens to a convertible when it hits a moose? Or rolls? No you can drive a convertible, but the first impressions it gives are cursing, and luxury.

S2000, Miata, Boxster?

I'm not too worried about hitting a moose in TN, lol...

Look, convertibles are not for everyone. They introduce an experience much different than a hard top automobile. To each his own, I just don't think you should stereotype people based on their choices.....

Hit a moose with any car (or most trucks) and you are looking at a bad output. Most convertibles now a days have roll bars in place, so you don't get crushed in the event of a roll.
