We have the same blizzard up here in Montana Barry. Except the stook is in the garage for the winter. I admire anyone that drives the stook in snow.

Just a thought, but wouldn't a kayak be pretty close to the length of the car even if you could mount it on the hard top. It seems that visibility would be extremely poor at that.

Generally my S2000 stays garaged all winter too. However, my '93 Prelude VTEC needs some maintenance, so I slipped the hard top on and called it good. I figured the S2000 could see three days of daily use.

I do keep one set of wheels (stock) with Blizzaks and one set (the JDM 6 spokes in my sig) with SO-2s) so traction is not an issue.

Thanks for the info, I guessed the hard top would be designed primarily to be light weight rather than strong, but thought I'd double check.

Thanks for confirming my fears :-(

P.S. Mike, I never considered running the Dragon with the boats on top, I'd drop them off at the camp site/hotel first. I do not push the car to 75 on the twisties, that would have only bee max highway speed that I'd drive on the way to the mountains.

Thx again for the info!
