How could motorists be more environmentally friendly?

Only if you roll it onto its top. A soft top will collapse. If you do not have the top up then your head will hit the ground if you roll. I have driven convertibles for 10 years and never had an accident. knock on wood. Just drive safe and you will be fine.

Trucks that start with F?

I have a 1987 Mustang GT 5 speed convertible, I put many additions on it, one of the additions was a "4 point roll bar", I don't have any plans on rolling it over (who does) BUT, just in case it does roll, I'm NOT going to get crushed like a grape ! Why they don't install these "Roll Bar's" on all cars is beyond me, they strengthen the entire car body, making it much safer for the occupants if it is involved in a serious collision, total cost for the roll bar including installation was $250, a "Small" cost for a lot of protection.

Why is it that auto makers suggest that you don't drive your car agressively for the first 1,000 milees?

Depends. If you drive a 'drop top' without a roll bar without seat belts, in place, you are in more danger than you would be in a hard top ( assuming and hoping you wear seat belts ALWAYS ), However, there are deadly 'freak' accidents in hard tops, as well as 'drop tops' too numerous to go into here.

Forign or domestic cars?

Sure there is, why do you think insurance company's charge more to insure the vehicle? No structure above your head leaves you fairly open to injury in a roll-over. Some of the newer high end convertibles are built with a halo like loop extending off the seat behind the passenger's heads. Still, severe head trauma is most likely.
