Convertibles definitely have their extra uses, because the top goes down. They're also less expensive especially if you buy one in the fall, I've had several and still have 2 today.
One is finally wore out and needs to go, but the best story I can come up with besides hauling small materials and tools, ('91 mercury capri XR2, 4 cyl. turbo, got excellent MPG, so I worked out of it for awhile) is riding home in a rain storm without a top and or one in terrible condition.

Another time, had packed a dashboard and some other items for a ford ranger in the back and was returning from the junk yard, big ole thunderstorm was upon me and it let loose, I zipped past some traffic and cheated, got home and not much got wet, trick was not to stop.
Put a new top on 'er myself and soon after she was just worn out, not the motor or trans, all the other stuff, had 'er for 15 years.
