i hate driving the S in crappy weather. for several reasons.

thing sucks on all road conditions unless they are dry and warm. (winter tires only help so much) (aka im not going to be pulling the snowmobile trailer through a foot of snow with the s2k)

id prefer to keep the salt/sand off it. It kills the paint and rusts everything up (harder to do mods when ur fighting rust)

The fact that the top doesnt have a rain gutter sucks cause all the rain pours off the roof right in the door.

and the number one reason for me is the frigan windshield wipers suck dik

There is like 4 different speeds and the low speed makes an annoying clicking noise.

3 season S2k FTW

Mine drives pretty good in the weather. Only thing I wish it had was variable intermittent wipers.

yah that would be awsome, same thing with the heater. it would be nice (for those of us top down lovers) if there was a way to split up the heat say 30% feet 70% face

the 50/50 just makes one part too hot and the rest too cold!

I want to keep my S for a LONG time and for me it's just not as
enjoyable to drive the car with the top up in lousy conditions so I choose
to store the car in the winter and hide it from that nasty snow, sand and salt.

Modifry makes some sort of a fabric cover that does just that. You install it over the foot vent and it limits the amount of air that can get out.

you could probably make your own easy enough too.

Go buy some thick velcro strips from the hardware store and call it a day.

but if you don't mind waiting for it to arrive, supporting modifry isn't a bad idea either. He makes some great stuff.

Hehehe. Agreed.

But only a real man tries to drive the S uphill in a snow storm (top down optional).
