Wives/significant other worry about Verts?

A roll bar is actually more dangerous without the proper safety equipment to go along with it...

1. Hitting any part of the bar, even with padding, is going to do some damage

2. Racing harnesses can help prevent bodily injury, but must be installed properly in order to prevent injury to the spine, etc.

3. Wearing a helmet on the street would look kinda funny

Despite all of this, I will eventually be installing a roll bar, harnesses, and seats. Will it help me in a roll over? Yes, as long as my head doesnt hit the bar.

As for the coupe...

Coupe. But I never really liked verts (in general). There are those on here that I love, though, such as Paul's car. I know there are alot of people that are the opposite .... they prefer the verts. So I respect that, cause it's on the same level.



If you want to keep it .... install a light bar and tell her the strongest steel in the world lies inside it. I have seen verts with full cages & I think it looks fugly. A local here has a Fox vert with a full cage that looks alright, but still not "great", if you know what I mean.

Take her for a nice ride with the top down. Always drive like a grandma with her in the car. She will change her tune.

Thats damn near impossible for me

do you have a history of rolling cars? my wife likes having the top down, and i always drive like a maniac.

Get a crotchrocket. The vert will seem like a tank in comparison.

I think a vert (my fox is a vert) is safer than a Jeep or something. While riding in my bud's sweet Jeep (it is about 20' off the ground) we had the doors out and I almost got pitched out of the thing. The good thing is we were so high, I think I would have landed on the roof of the car next to us.

My Mom was worried crazy at the thought till I got the 89 vert, then she loved it I told her I don't buy my cars to wreck or rollover anyway

Wife hates the vert!

She hates the car, drove it twice last summer. She's got hair issues with the top down, gees wear a friggin hat! Now my daughter is crazy for the convertible, loves having the top down & tunes up. Safety what safety if I didn't own the vert I'd be riding a Harley! So the wife thinks the vert is safer in the long run then a Harley.
