Nothing better after a loooooong day at work to put the top down, get some music cranked up & let that cold air hit you in the face on the way home.

First, let me admit up front that I may have a problem. It seems overly obsessive, to drive to the post office 5 miles away in 20F temperature --- with the top down. I need help!
I don't understand the problem here! When I bought mine I had a 45 mile commute to school. 10pm, 18*, cruise control at 70mph, heat on full, top down, and a smile on my face. There was no problem!

Top's up till the first autocross of next year - don't care if we get a nice day. That's my tradition (started last year out of necessity). No comments about how silly it is to drive convertables with the top up please. I bought a performace car that happened to be a convertable, not the other way around This summer though, I followed Ralphers lead and would not drive the car unless the conditons were condusive to top down driving...but sometime in August got caught in some really hot wheather mid day and wimped out ....No tan needed here

Uhh Ralper, you sure you got that temp for today right???

For me, if its under 50 F, the top is up. I may be a pussy, but at least I'm a warm pussy

Not to worry. I've moved my top down and up many times in temps below freezing with absolutely no problems.
