Drove mine once last week. Looks to be 80° Thursday, so I'll get it out then. Once it gets cold and stays cold I'll park it for the winter. What's the fun in driving with the top up?

Drove mine to work today. Planning on washing it this weekend and putting it up on the rack for the winter. Need to get my Cutlass down for a few miles before the snow flies. It leaks (TA doesn't) so the Cutlass hibernates on the bottom bunk for the winter.

What do you define as "cool" in Florida?

LoL, on the rare cool day we might see a high of 60.
The average high in January is 70 degrees. It does freeze here in some winters. I don’t think we have had a freeze in three years. We had snow flurries one winter. Been here since 2000.
I used to live in Omaha and it was cold there. One Christmas the temp dropped to -20 degrees F ambient temp. In the summer it would get up to 100 degrees in July.
I much prefer these Florida winters. Plenty of top down driving!

FINALLY! A Warm Weekend! We just can't seem to shake the cold weather here in NE Indiana, woke up yesterday (4/19/18) to snow on the ground! Fortunately, not enough accumulation to draw the salt trucks back out (again). Forecast is warm and sunny this weekend, looks like I'll finally be able to get the 'Bird down for a drive. I've driven the Cutlass to work and around town a few times already. We had a spat of warm rain back in March that got the salt off the roads long enough to take it out for a couple of drives. Looking forward to uncovering the 'Bird and stretching its wings this weekend.

We put our cars away for summer. The 4k stall does not like 110+ degree ambient temp and probably like 140+ asphalt temp lol. Literally last Sunday I was messing around with a buddy's GTO and cruised on the freeway, did 2 15 mph to 100 mph runs and my trans was 210 when it went into the garage. Time for wax and some stabil fuel, see you in October lol.
