			Top down time is here (in Tucson.)   I won't put it down if the temp is above 90 or so. 
 
But then my 01 is a project and I'm a newbie!

			I have the hardtop option, just installed it last weekend.  Preparing for the Seattle rainy season.

			50 degrees is my cutoff typically, but if its 45 when I leave for work, I'll err on the side of top down.  Put on a sweater and it's pretty comfortable.

			I've driven a few times in the past couple of weeks when it was about 45 and it felt great. I love the  unobstructed view with the top down and, as of late, the refreshing chill. As for the rain, I got caught out in it the other day with the top down and the Boxster doesn't seem to keep it out at speed as well as my MGB did.

			I am pulling the hard top off this weekend! was 45 this morning! but 70's now daytime- just 3 weeks ago it hit 90, and we were still humid and lots of rain, so finally will get our fall weather and have the top down for the "winter"! hard top goes back on in july when we get back to the 90+ temps and rain every day

			I'd usually have mine down with the nice cooler temperatures here in Dallas but my top won't go down. Something to do with the sensors, must watch You Tube so I can fix it!

			In the summer, top down in the mornings. In the winter, top down in the afternoons. Those fabulous 6 weeks between the two, top down every where.

			In greater Seattle area, I just put the hardtop I acquired last year on my Boxster, which is my daily driver and also gets parked outside.  It actually snowed here a bit yesterday, and the rear window defroster should be nice.
