Donna,

Why not own both? Buy a nice cab and drive it!

This is dumb, but I have a commute car dilemma.  I have a 99 TDI new beetle
for commuting but miss the 93 VW cabriolet I had prior to that.  I was
looking on Craigslist for a decent Cab; is this just dumb - should I keep
the TDI, or sell it and get a decent Cab?  I only use the vehicle to commute
to a train station for the rest of my ride to work, so that I don't put wear
and tear on our Syncro plus the Syncro's lousy fuel mileage is a factor.  I
am in California and will have start "smogging" the TDI so that issue is
done with.

thanks for any opinions.  My husband thinks my cabriolet was "cute" and
pretty much hates my New Beetle, so possibly that is a factor, plus I just
miss the cab - it was triple white, leather, whole nine yards.
