They needed to make enough space for people to puke in.

Unreliable engine? Check.

Ringlands? Double check.

Conversion doomed to fail? Triple check.

You see that's what we in the industry like to refer to as a "wonderfully terrible idea". Yeah it makes no sense and has several glaring design flaws, but do you REALLY care?

Two of them?

As in TWO separate people thought that this was a reasonable thing to do to an STI??

Not when you're flying down a rally stage with no roof, you don't. You have bigger problems.

Like what happens if you roll over.

From what I know it was roof damage.... I could be wrong.

Let me let this gif express my feelings in response to this.

needs more rollcage and less basket handle.


Apparently the dealer was asking $75k for it.

Ohh, it all makes sense now.

Another dealer local to me made some FD convertibles for the same reason. Quite common,......Maybe I can make one at work with an FRs....

It is almost there... Now they need to remove the back seat/trunk lid and install a fold down mini truck bed.

You work in the auto industry?

Maybe if someone gave us a 4-door convertible (looking at you, Lincoln), we could put away the sawzalls and stop making bad decisions.

No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Wait. Roof damage? So it went something like:

p1 "Car was rolled, we are gonna total it out"

p2 "Wait, we can just cut the roof off and sell it as modded"

p3 "Of course, who wouldn't want an STI convertible!"

Rolled would be totalled lol

But in transit the cars jumped I think and hit the second level denting the roofs an not repairable. So the good old New England way is to just say fuck it and make a convertible.
