Yeah, I know. I drove it on Friday... we went out for sushi. It was a little on the chilly side but sunny, and yeah it was a blast. But I keep looking at that car which is probably worth more than $30k and wondering if I get as much enjoyment out of it as $30k would buy me somewhere else.

And "nice weather" quickly turns into "90+ degrees" here at which point I have no desire to drive a convertible. The window of "nice convertible weather" in Maryland is really May through June and September through October with a few July and August days sprinkled in.
