what conditions do you go top down in?
I love going top down so on even the slightest bit of nice weather, you can find me w/ my top off, letting her lull me and melt me.
In NY it was 56 degrees and sunny after a monsoon in the morning. I enjoyed myself.
Generally speaking, when I am desperately awaiting Sping, I can be found w/ my top off at temperatures as low as 45.
What about you? I know some people are picky.

Dude ,
I am in the same way, but i have to say Vegas is much warmer than NY,
I can go top down 10 months out the year, lowest day time temp around 60.
Move down here and you' ll enjoy the convertible much, much more !

Also it probably isn't as humid over there, so warm temperatures will be tolerable, whereas when it's 80 in NY, it feels like 110.
Oh well. I love NY

Since I don't have heated seats, 60 (maybe 57) degrees or warmer is "top down". No rain please

Had my 2000 S since Mar. 06, as long as it is not raining or the posibility of raining during my touring around southern maryland headed west or south toward I have my top down but lately after reading a lot of post about the plastice window life span when takind the top down on cold weather I try not to. For the most part if it get close to high 40's and no rain. The top is down, no heated seat but dress accordingly.
