I left my top down in 40 degree weather.

1)The shift knob is really cold and doesn't warm up anytime soon.

2)The vents on the driver side are perfectly aimed at the 10 O'clock and 2 O'clock positions (perfect for hand warming).

3) The raised carpet (crossbeams) directly in front of the seats aren't for strength, they are for holding 1 (10)pack of diapers, 1 gallon of milk and a six pack of Miller Lite.

speaking of shift knob temp. this past weekend I had the top down, out in the sun - I know, not good on the leather, and definately hot! but the Ti Voodoo knob...notta, not hot, not cold at all. and for that, it was definately worth the extra few dollars to save my hands from being fried in the up and comming Texas heat. (cause you know, down here, we see asphault in liquid form, all the time!)

Hopefully, after you got home, you learned another lesson, this one more valuble than the other 3: Miller Lite barely qualifies as a beer.

Hey, I thought I was the only one who had figured that out. I always volunteering to go for take-out, and a well-packed bag is held there nicely...AND you can keep a good amount of heat around it with the floor vents.

Isn't that the truth! I always have a fresh keg of Newcastle in my kegerator.

The rick's gearshift cover doesn't work on the Vooodooo.

I am currently using an old silk sock from some oakley sunglasses. works alittle.

Roadtrip - you still wear diapers, or are you "back into them" (depends).?

I just throw my UC Bearcats cap over the knob when I get out!

Learned my lesson last year driving up the coast. Left the top down while I hit the beach, came back and ended up with the shift pattern burned into my hand!!
