Had mine out today. Top down and 42 out. Had the heater blowing on my feet, sweatshirt and jeans on. A little brisk but manageable.

Great to see people still going top down. Last Saturday was probably my last time with the top down.
I'm coming up on my last few days before its going in for the season.
Last night was 31 degrees and we attempted the track and what a nightmare. Just to cold for any traction. I left early just not worth it. The track tech told me a brand new ZL1 just hit the wall a few nights ago and totaled his car. Most people just left before getting into trouble. The ride home at 28 degrees was slow and careful.
Took it out today and just got to baby it real slow 1st and 2nd.
It is going to be so hard to put this car up for the winter, and walk past it

every day in my heated garage as I head to the pickup with 0 degrees and 3-10' of snow on the ground.

48 yesterday morning....top was DOWN!

The first year, 50 was my limit. Now, I think it's gonna be 40....

55 and sunny today here in the great north woods. Top went down for the last time in 2013. Suppose to rain snow the rest of the week and November 1st she gets put to bed. Time to wash and fill her up. Seafoam in the tank and tender applied.

i am in kansas city, and today got to 58 and sunny. its ok sitting still at stoplite, but going 50 i was getting a little cold. i want to get a wind diffuser next spring. but, i had the windows down today, not up. its ok around town at 30 or so, but rain coming this week. maybe next weekend. i dont put mine up for winter, plan on driving it thru the winter as long as roads are clear and dry.

When it gets down into the 60's, I need a hoodie.

When temps exceed 98○, the top goes up.

kevinw · 10-27-2013, 07:54 PM

yeah, when its too hot, then yes, got to keep top up and use the air. i like driving with top down at nite. i did that alot with T tops in my firebird.

HA

Had the top down today on the way home, 63 degrees.

Was 59 when I got home, I had put my gloves on.

Brrrr!!!!

babaron · 10-31-2013, 06:14 AM

Perfect temp for me is 77-84 deg. Call me weak but i prefer cold intolerant. As I live in Ohio, it only goes out with top down a few times in the summer. One day, I'll be in SoCal and be out with it more.
