Ya, I hear ya. We toured in our NC for over 80,000 miles over an eight year period. We were in our 60's at the time. mrs humfrz was a pretty good sport about our three weeks at a time, top down adventures. Yes, the passenger compartment is a bit limited of storage space, but we learned that a lot of the "stuff" we traveled with, didn't need to be accessed while driving.

Yep, that transmission tunnel does stick out there, which would have driven me nuts, but, mrs humfrz didn't complain.

Although the trunk space was limited, we just learned to travel light. Actually, now with our FR-S, we use the same custom fitted soft sided luggage.. which almost gets lost in the FR-S trunk.

As we moved into our 70's, we found the FR-S had more creature comforts. Like a glovebox, quieter ride (because coupe), "back seat" to toss stuff into, seats that will recline all the way back (for napping) and mrs humfrz is more comfortable temperature wise, because ol humfrz never know when it was too hot to have the top down.

Ah, yes, but, I do miss those top down drives …
