What do you all think of my new Converted?
Have had this car for awhile... Can no longer title it anywhere (Katrina) and the thing is on its last legs so I thought I'd enjoy the last few months of ownership by soaking up some sun.

Well to answer your questions:
Yes it is not the same in handling as it used to be - but good enough to put around town... 100 is quite scary in the car even with a roof! Seems pretty solid for a long unibody car with no roof however. Today I got my first treat of rain - was a beautiful morning when I came to work, but later that afternoon I looked out the window to see SHEETS of rain! Drove it back to my home and covered it with a tarp... and jumped into my nice dry MB. I picked up the car for a VERY reasonable price (less than a rental or a plane ticket) to get back FROM Biloxi. Actually did not expect the car to run this long but I have been somewhat impressed with the Nissan build quality... now I'm out in Utah for a couple of years and decided that I'll make a nice utility/sunshine vehicle until the plates expire. Funny you should mention the E-Bay idea - I have had a couple offers for MORE than I paid for the car since the roof has been cut off... Hence the two tone paint. I would not feel comfortable selling something that may be unsafe to an unsuspecting/uneducated buyer. Here is what it looked like before the paint modification and some kid took a bat to the front fender (not that I care on this one)...
