33 F. I'm concerned about being able to get the top back up should I need to. The top on my MG used to shrink in the cold and was very difficult to put up at temps below 40 F. This top is probably better made, but I don't think I'll risk it.

We drove home last night, stars out, 36*F, Perfect!!
I love this car!

I should mention Darla was bundled up and the only time I ever feel cold is skiing in central BC when the temps are below -5*F.

BTW, "Just shoot me" was a figure of speech! We've had enough target practice around here lately!

Ralper,
No problems putting the top back up. Pulled into the garage and put it up as easily as when its 80*F.

Since I'm just entering my first fall/winter season with the S2000, I haven't established this threshold as yet.

But I must say that it was quite comfortable with the top down!

So far ralper from New Jersey is the leader at 33 degrees (I'm not counting the guy who drove to the car show in the 20's since that was probably a one-time event-although I will give him a tip of the cap). I'm looking to know what is the low threshold for you to drive the car with the top down on a regular basis.
