When is it TOO hot for the top down?

[FTD]

When is it too HOT to put the top down? Today. High of 97, no breeze. Second year of Drought'lanta. I'm driving the Honda. I don't usually drive the Boxster if I can't put the top down.

Sounds familiar. On my way home the temperature displayed in my DD Jeep fluctuated between 99 - 100.

I tend to not drive my Boxster unless I can drop the top as well.

Second year of extreme drought in Charlotte as well. At least we can wash cars now one day a week - Saturday or Sunday depending on if your address is even or odd.

I saw a Mustang occupied by three people with the top down stuck in traffic. Air conditioning on or not it had to be miserable sitting there.

This is when I wish I had ventilated or air conditioned seats in my Boxster and my daily driver!

I had to park outside today. When I got into the car to go home I had to let the car sit with the windows down and the AC up for about 5 minutes before I could get in. I didn't drop the top, and had to put on my leather tire change gloves to not burn the shifter markings into my palm. (That aluminum gets really hot.)

It was miserable for about 10 minutes. Then everything cooled off and I pulled over and put the top down. I got in some great top down (85°) driving before I got home.
