Good discussion guys.
First, no shipping- they're all going to pick it up here or in Vacaville, where it is now.
Second, selling it is the better play. I won't be using the car much in winter, and the softtop will keep the rain and snow out anyway. I am also not sure how much helmet clearance in optimal driving position I'll have with the hardtop on. Also, I don't want to take the chance that I wouldn't pass tech at an event or trackday with the hardtop and a shorter roll bar. Besides, it's my neck, and I want the bar as high as possible. I don't think the hardtop will be any more effective at protecting me than the roll bar I ordered. With the car upside down, I imagine it would crush down to the bar anyway.
Last- it's a Miata. Why the hell would I want to spend 90% of my time in it with the hardtop on? No, I'd rather pocket the $1000 and take the chance I may want a hardtop again later. It's not like it will be impossible to find, just expensive.
