52 in winter - 92 degrees in summer is my range here in Austin TX. If it's warmer than 92 it has to be overcast to drop the top.

Gawd, its HOT out there! Did I mention its hot???? Damn, its hot. I just ran to Lowe's and the car never got cooled down going or coming back. I was trying to get my mower fixed. The self propelled aspect of it is broken. After mowing this weekend in this friggin heat I decided to get it fixed. I will get my exercise some other way. Man, its hot.

I broke my rule about keeping the top down no matter what.
Yesterday, the temp gauge said it was 97. The air was so thick that I felt like I was getting drowsy driving on the highway. Had to pull over to the Exxon mart for a Redbull and raise the top.
THat was a first in 10 years of summer roadster driving.
on the way home it started raining but I didn't raise the top because I was going fast enough to keep water from falling into the cockpit.

I have no idea what the temp is today, but at 8:30 this morning I was sweaty and sticky wearing a linen/cotton suit. I drove with the top down for a bit without my jacket on, only a tanktop and my pants, and I was sweaty and gross when I got home. When I went back out at noon I didn't put the top down. In fact, I couldn't even get cool with the air up all the way with the top up. I swear it feels like 200 degrees here today.

Was it hot in Hotlanta today?
I'm sure it was, as well, in Jacksonville, but I'm at my daughter's in Olympia, WA.
We went to Snoqualmie (sp?) Falls. IT was gorgeous and did get a bit warm this afternoon, maybe 85.

I fell in love with the Oregon coast, Yachats area. I hear WA is equally gorgeous. I could use a cool WA breeze right now.

Hurricane Dolly is going to hit us in the morning (Deep South Texas). I may put the top up for the day.  I'll put 'er down if there's a break during the day.
