Of course, we were wearing winter jackets and my wife was also wearing gloves and a cap. Amazingly, it was her idea to put the top down and she's always cold.
yer f#$%ing crazy. hahah just kidding. nice choice of color on ur car though. i can't drive with gloves and big coat on. i like to drive with comfy clothes.

new MB slk series have heater on car seat near your neck so it feels like you have scarf on. i think that was really kewl idea.

I drive with the top down when cold about half of the time as long as there is no rain. I like the open air. I usually wear a hat or a beanie though. I did that a lot last winter with my Miata as well. The only thing is manual tops suck so I am glad the top on the S2000 is powered.

A beanie, jacket, and some gloves and it's quite nice with the top down. That's my typical dress anyways during winter, so it makes little difference. I'm not insane enough to go that route at the 6am drive on 405 though.
