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.
I made it home with a ratty top, frayed and flappin, 30 miles in the rain, not heavy but more than a drizzle and made all the traffic lights (9) when I got close to home without stopping, which is almost impossible to do now, very rare to time it right + traffic, just does not happen, the remains of the top was dry, I never stopped from point to point, and made it into the garage, I thought that was pretty cool.
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.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”.
