coldest outside temp driving w/top down?
since winter is around the corner for most of us, what's the coldest outdoor temperature that you've driven in with the top down? just curious to see how dedicated (crazy?) some of you are when it comes to top-down motoring
but yet I have a hardtop on 24/7... 365

I drove to my parents (about an hour away) with the top down last Christmas. I believe it was in the upper 30s or low 40s. There's a recommendation in the owner's manual about not operating the top below certain temps, but I figured since the car was was warm in the garage when I put the top down, it would be OK.
When driving in cold weather, I tend to keep the windows up, the heater on, and wear a skull cap to keep my head and ears warm.
By the way, you might want to do a search. I think this topic was covered last winter, too.

If you keep your top down all the time - you won't need to "operate" it in cold weather.
Cmon man... Think about what you just said
