Default When does your S come out to play?

It's been a mild winter. Maybe the S2000's will come out to play earlier this year. We generally take ours out from undercover in late March, or mid April. We wait for a good stretch of 50+ degree weather before we take it out. We prefer top down mode and aren't as hardy as Charlie/Chazmo when it comes to top down weather.

A few minor things need to be done this spring. The S needs new tires, and we got yet another front lip for it.

Looking forward to the driving season!

Ours is available to drive whenever. For me, it's more a factor of moisture conditions than temperature, as we have snow tires for it. But right now, with the toddler, the only time it gets driven is when I'm going somewhere by myself. Or the rare time we have a babysitter.
So on days like today, cold and rainy, or even just the salty snowmelt like the previous few days, I just take the beater Saturn.

I haven't even swapped the snow tires on it this winter. The rear summer tires are nearly bald, and I kinda wanna give them a proper send-off before putting the snow tires on and getting new summer rubber.

I installed a Fujitsubo Legalis R today and took the S2000 out for a drive, the roads were dry and it was about 45 degrees, not cold at all. I have yet to put the car away, havent seen a need to.
