I also don't see any need to put the top down, ( unless you have a HT on ), that would seem to encourage the development of creases from the folding that may take a long time to flatten out.

I just think top up and not latched is the easiest on the top and the seals. I even park my car in the garage during driving season with the top up, unlatched, but not covered.

Don't know if it is good or bad to have the top up, but mine is down all winter, of course I have the hardtop on.
Do you store your car with the HT on or is it a daily driver?

This time of year the car sees the road only a couple times a month, weather permitting, and then for short drives. Hasn't been out yet in 05 but that may change later this week. I have my 91 Ranger 4x4 for my transportation this time of year...getting rusty but runs like a top.

Got to love them pickups!!! My '95 Nissan 4x4 is in the same shape, rusting apart, still screams right up to redline...

So, let me guess, you too are having this weird warm/wet winter. Looks like they are forcasting 50+ for tomorrow here.

I've got a '94 Ranger 4x4 that is running great! Looks great from the outside, but everything underneath is rusting.

Hey Jeff G.! When are you getting a truck? It seems to be the thing to have among S2000 owners.

Just keep reminding yourself that these are the "fair weather" S2000 owners and not the real thing.
How does that saying go about people who live in glass houses?

Definatly a lot warmer than last winter, that was a real brutal one. Have had our share of below zero temps but the cold spells have only lasted about 3 days. I think we've had more rain/ice than snow but we do have about 6" of the white stuff on the ground now. Calling for temps here up into the 50's for thur then back to 10 by Sat night. Can't wait for spring. Yesterday put the new Voodoo shifter my son got me for Xmas on the S, can't wait to try it out.

Congrats on the Voodoo. Did you get the regular or the magnum? The magnum is a bit larger, about the size (~2") of a billiard ball.

Bottom line - they both drop the knob from the OEM height and really shorten up the shifter. I love it when people sit in my car and can't believe how much better it is; right Red Rush?
