just drove my s2k to Hurricane ridge in Olympic National Park yesterday. top down, windows down and the temp in the mid 40's and wasn't cold. I guess it was because i didn't have time to be cold, to busy conducting white knuckle apex clipping! a good sweatshirt and the heater on full blast also helped.

Tedster. Classic. I'd personally go down to 20 or so. If the sun is out (and the missus is not in the car!) then the top is down.

hehe... it doesn't get in the 20's very often here!!! In college, I drove in all kinds of ridiculous weather in my Fiat 124 Spyder. This'll be my first winter in the S2k. If it's wet out, it stays in the garage. If the sun is out, top down! Again - let me state for the record... no way that'll happen with the Mrs. in the car though!

Last night it was ~34 - top down in comfort (gloves and a snowboarding parka)

Next week I'll be working up in Alaska. The coldest I've ever seen it there was -37 They tell me that at -50 and beyond that the flat spots on your tires temporarily freeze. You roll down the street - thump-thump-thump-thump...

Forgot to mention this earlier but Tedster has a very "hot" mod in his S2k - HEATED SEATS!!! Yeah, baby!

I drove it tonight. The weather finally cleared up, no more rain, and it was the first time that I drove my S in 7 days. It felt great. Not cold at all (I did have my driving gloves on). I think the temp was around 35 degrees or so. I also ran into/saw another S, but the top was up. Didn't get a chance to chat w/ the other S, I had to pickup someone.
