With many of us S2k owners living in colder weather conditions, and the approach of winter, how do YOU stay warm so you can keep your top down like a typical S2k nut???

I have found the special "top down" heating mode works pretty well... though your feet can get pretty hot. I also will wear gloves, but usually not a hat. (other than a baseball hat)

As much as I would like to drive top down in winter time, I avoid doing this because to ousiders this seems very rediculous, and I don't want to be known as the village nut

I drive with the top down all the time (unless it's raining) & yes I am known as the village nut - but then again, who cares.

I had a neighbor growing up who drove one of his three convertible Lincolns with the top down all winter long. As long as it wasn't pouring rain or blizzarding, there he'd be, stuck behind our school bus, top down, with a big grin on his face (he also shaved with an electric razor on the way to work).

I always thought he was a bit accentric, but I admired him. And here I am, 30 years later, top down in all but the coldest weather with a big grin on my face. I think I'll skip the electric razor though.

As an aside, the first time I test drive an S2000 it was in light snow flurries. The dealer thought my Gfriend and I were nuts when we asked how to drop the top. Best test drive I've ever had.

I found the "top down" setting works great for the A/C in the summer, but that the other "hi-low" setting is better for cool weather (it gets cold here, but not THAT cold, and not this early). The vents blow warm/hot air directly onto you hands on the steering wheel!

I always do "top up" when I'm parked unless it's a short time (images of the Back to The Future scenes).
