So are you saying that when it's warm there chop is not longer mandatory,,
From about December to March it's pretty much always above 80F here in Perth, Aust..
If it's is outside for 30 min or more my current car generally gives an inside air temp of at least 90F for 6 months of the year.. (we are experiencing a severe drought... bad for farmers... but looking good for ease of lowering the top!
)
