i was curious to know how many of you drive @ night w/ the top down. it's still kind of chilly in VA but the heater more than makes up for it. it's pretty interesting to look up and see nothing but stars.

If I can't drive with the top down, I don't drive it...

If it's not raining, top is down. ALWAYS.

I think I prefer driving with the top down at night. It's an indescribable feeling. I feel like I'm the only person on the planet when I'm ripping around at night!

If the temp's above 40 or 45 and it's not raining, my top is down day or night.

Driving through the country at night, especially in the Spring when all the accompanying scents are at work is quite an experience, to be sure.

You should be down here in S. Florida and smell the orange blossoms at night. It's pure perfume and our evenings are 70 degrees. Driving at night in Florida is like racing in your dreams.....shadows of palm trees remind you of the exotic locale and if you're close enough to the coast, you can hear the ocean breaking waves in the distance. It all mixes with sounds of the exhaust to transport you into a waking dream-state. You want to drive until you just plain run out of gasoline.

Paradise without the plane fare, on the continental U.S.
The S2000 is perfect for Florida!

Always down!!! The heater likes to burn my hands off though....

Ok here's a question I've been meaning to ask -- you know how there's a heater setting for top-down driving (the car icon)? Well I don't use that because it doesn't blow air that hard at all so it's kinda useless. BUT, I like how it blows air at the shifter/belt-line area. Any idea how I can get this setting to blow harder or how I can get that shifter air vent to blow air on other settings? Thanks!!
