Yeah. Blast the heat, turn on the seat heaters and you're good to go. Just think of it as a big ass window




Seat heaters do help a lot, as does a wind deflector.

50 or below is my cutoff. I have a very low tolerance for cold, so I just physically can't take much colder than that.

I'm such a goober though... I specifically bought a pair of aviator sunglasses to where when I have the top down. It just looks so cool, haha.

I am always top down except if I get caught in rain.

With the heated seats, great heater system and the windstop I have driven hundreds of miles at 43 degrees.

Presuming you're a female... Females tend to have a lower tolerance for cold temperatures, so we won't hold it against you




Today it's 55 again. TOP DOWN!

Yep, female. And I have a condition known as hypothyroidism, which symptoms include being colder easier than most people. 75 or below and I'm wearing a sweater.

I am surprised that your cut-off is 50 then. Seems a bit cold given your situation. You must really love top-down driving.

I usually never see ladies w/ their tops off (I mean down) unless it's 75-80 degrees out.

I just crank the heat and wear a sweater and I'm just fine. And normally it's only in the 50-60 range early in the morning on the way to an autocross event... so I'm so pumped that I barely feel anything, really. Then I get to the event and I'm so busy changing tires, getting teched, etc. that my body warms up pretty fast

(trying to remember when Rochester had 60 degree weather in the morning...)


Joking.



I used to live upstate so I know how it is




Going to go drive around aimlessly now.
