OMG OPPO! I saw a UNICORN!
Ok, so, for those of you that don't nerd hard about Nissans like I do, I call the S13 convertible a Unicorn because they're fucking rare. Yes, there are rarer cars, but this is the only one I've given a nickname to. When it comes up in conversation, it's "a fucking unicorn". AND I SAW ONE WHEEEEEE.
Sorry, SR20 (Not the Nissan kind, the Oppo kind), but there's a nice pic from Wikimedia.

Actually, all of them were auto. Not almost. But every single one of them.
The only 5-speed convertibles were swapped in—and probably beat to hell drifting.

The unicorn wasn't finding a convertible S13. The unicorn was finding an *unmolested* S13.
Most of them have been raced and abused.

I saw one the other day. I knew they were uncommon but I didn't realize they were actually rare.

ooh. sad. This car would have competed with the Miata, and maybe Mustang V6 so why not make it available with a 5 speed. The Infiniti M30 was also Auto only if I remember right. Silly silly logical marketing.

Yea, the M30 was auto-only, and US-only.
To be fair though, the M30 was aimed at the luxury market, and only as a stopgap until they could get something better (the J30).

These convertibles have not aged well. Plus they were all autos, cause a hard roof is the true way to speed!

This one was clean. Pretty sweet IMO.
