Drive until the salt comes out. Top down till about 50* f. Go slow on the summer tires until they warm a little.

Drove mine last night. I think it was like 35F? Hard top. Windows up. Heater set to "reptile habitat".

When I had a soft top, I'd roll top down until it got down to 70F with sun...or 75F without sun (with the heater on).

I will drive around town with my windows down if in the same conditions described top down.

Any colder than 75F requires multiple layers for me. 15...maybe 16 sweaters.

Except for one year of my life, I've lived in Southern California or Phoenix, Arizona, so year-round driving is and has been no problem. With our summer heat well over 100F, top up and air conditioning help a lot. In the winter, our weather is mild enough to drive top down day and night. I put in seat heaters for the rare times we are in colder temps. The gals on those rides have appriciated the seat heaters, especially for the top-down holiday light drives in deep December.

Central NY. Pickled today. Cleaned, vacuumed, changed oil and filter. Done until about tax day (4/15)ish when the salt goes away.

i really HATE the thought of 5 or 6 months without my S. Ugh.
Has to be done though. Mine is cleaned and oil changed - but, I'm gonna try to go till Thanksgiving. I may regret it.

Well...

I may have exagerrated the number of sweaters.
