Nice, Rob. Good luck. Are you going to be comfortable relegating the S to the great outdoors?!

For me, a '60s E-type was always the classic I wanted to add to the stable, but I know now that there'd be no way I could handle it logistically or emotionally.

You poor people. The best time of year to drive an S2000 is now, in So Cal.

No, I'm not. But I'll keep it under the deck and covered up. I don't like the idea either, but its the best I can do. And I do want the TD and I don't want to give up the S.

Don't feel bad for me, Patty. Anything north of single-digit temperature is a good top-down day for Chazmo.

I'm with you. I drive top down all winter.

As a matter of fact, it's just as nice in the cold as in the warm.

^^ Riiiiiiiiiiiiight!

I'd be a little reluctant to raise and lower that cold vinyl roof in sub-freezing temperatures due to tearing or cracking. I coped with Midwestern winters for over 42 years, so I know you all are just trying to convince yourselves that top down driving is no problem in the winter.
