I love SC until the summer, we have some pretty rough days mainly because of the humidity. I'm hoping to get a few more top down days this weekend. And thanks by the way.

And Hastingsrj, I don't think I'm quite ready to drop the top on a 30* day, but I almost did this morning when it was 40*.

If its not too windy out, I'll have my top down on a sunny day. With the top down you get the wind noise, instead of the noisey old 12 bolt when the top is up

#1 rule of convertibles...sunny weather = top down

I've gone topless in 15 degree weather. Of course it's rare due to salt and the car is not a DD, but....

I'd be driving my car in this weather too but I spend all the time working on setting up the farm we are renting. Hit 55 today here in central Illinois. Oh and I have drove the car with the top down in sub freezing temperatures a few times...not often but when it is cold before the snow comes I still drive the car.

Where in the middle of nowhere do you live? I do like living in the middle of nowhere though. 10 mile drive to the closest town with a store and 8 miles to the closest gas station. Though we don't have many cows around me but lots of pigs...mostly because we are pig farmers.

Haven't been on much in the last few days because I've been driving as much as possible. It's been in the 70s all weekend so it's been great. I've heard a ton about Cars and coffee, is that something that only happens in the really big cities like Charlotte?
