Totally doable, you will pay circa 30 quid a day for a convertible so not expensive or much more than a standard car.

Another driving tip. In LA, if you're more than 1 in the car, use the car pool lanes! They're normally the left-most lane and are usually free of traffic!
This works in other cities too, drove from south Seattle to North Seattle at 60mph the whole way in the middle of rush hour
I shall so a little post when I get back.
Currently in the middle of Yosemite and 512kb Internet!
I've not see fuel under $3.90 for cheapo. Max of $4.40.
We've done 600 miles and put in $80. The challenger is surprisingly good on fuel. Getting 28mpg so far over the trip. I've been giving it some too as I'm only used to a 1.6 focus

$4.40 in Yosemite? It was $4.65 at the end of July.
What are you checking out in Yosemite? It's an awesome place. If you're into hiking and you have a bit of time available I'd recommend Clouds Rest from the trailhead at the bottom of Tenaya Lake. In my opinion it was better than the view from Half Dome (as you can see HD!).
It's a shame some of the view has been killed off in the Rim Fire though

we are only here for a day so we have just been relaxing by the pool, driving to death valley tomorrow, google maps says 8 hours!
google maps is taking me over sonora pass highway but ive been told tioga pass is a must and it cuts across sooner than sonora so will save hours of time.
we are staying at tenaya ldge and going to furnace creek tomorrow.
Nice. Yeah, go back into the park and out via Tioga Pass. Probably take a fair bit longer and you may stop regularly for photos but it's worth it.
Enjoy Death Valley but be warned that California Highway Patrol do make appearances in the area, and there could be a few park rangers about.
Such a standard rental car. I've seen very few that aren't rentals
NorCal seems to be more expensive than SoCal too, I had a lot of teammates at work complaining but they soon shut up when I tell them it's $8/gallon in the UK. There are some extremes though... I saw a station just outside Death Valley selling for $6/gallon
Fairly bog standard minivan but if you get to pick try find one with all the tech. I've rented a few in the last year, the Chrysler Town and Country (same car, slightly different body etc) was the most well kitted with Sirius and a screen in the front and back with DVD player and a rear parking camera.
