70 is my cut off here in Michigan.

Below that I feel like the automotive equivalent of the morbidly obese guy who wears shorts into Wal-Mart in February when its 8 degrees. Not a look I care to cultivate, personally. But everyone has a different threshold.

Doesn't this give you only about 50 total days to drive your car in Michigan

Maybe the case in the Upper Peninsula but in lower Michigan, it can get past 70F in May through part of Oct. When I lived there, I rarely saw a Porsche with the top down.

I thought the question had to do with lowering the top safely with a plastic rear window. My owner's manual says don't do it below zero degrees Celcius.

I found out the hard way not to lower a plastic window when it's lower than 60 degrees. Now that it is replaced with glass I wanted to know what the canvas will tolerate. As long as it is not raining or lower than the 30's I like having the top down.
