We also have a convertible (1999 Jaguar XK8 with 21,000 miles) and I have wondered about keeping it when we head south.

Here are my thoughts...we've been caught in some pretty darned heavy, catch you by surprise, downpours while cruising around Florida and with a convertible you have to pull over to put the top up...which is not always an option if you're in traffic.

We just sold our Lincoln Aviator (it was AWD and we won't need that) and it had a wonderful moon roof...which is real easy to close if you see the downpour heading your way! So, we're thinking about selling the Jaguar when the time comes and buying something with a moonroof again.
