My favorite time to go topless is durring a big fluffy snow storm. Every year I get excited to see big snow flakes drifting down over Butters...a few minutes later, we are cruzing around enjoying the snow blowing over the windscreen and our heads.

Sometimes I will change the screensaver at work to "Starfield" and get the illusion of driving in the snow.

With the seat heaters & the vents pointed at the steering wheel, there is no excuse to leave the top up if you want the wind in your hair...or snow over head.

Simple....it's whatever you feel like doing. For me, out here in California where the heat isn't all the humid, I've driven in 100+ degree temps many times. And, at the other end of the spectrum, as long as it's not raining, my top is also down. One morning its was 28 degrees. But it was nice and sunny. I just fire up the heated seat, put on my North Face expedition jacket, a wool cap, and some REI gloves and I'm good to go. People look at me like I'm completely bonkers but hey, it's great.

I did just this thing this morning, it was way AWESOME!!!

And it looked just like you had fallen into the "Starfield" screen saver! In fact it was so neat looking, I had to force myself to really concentrate on the idiot drivers that have absolutely no idea on how to drive anytime the weather is less than "clear and visibility unlimited".

The drive to meet the gang at coffee this morning entailed a 24° high pressure 'severe calm', absolutely gorgeous morning. The comments from the guys went to prove they just don't get it. There's not a drop head driver among 'em.
