Awesome Weather - Drop The Top!

I don't know what the weather's been like elsewhere, but here in Houston, it has been ideal for driving around with the top down! Enjoy it while you can!

Yes, Cali is the exception to the rest of the nation. It will soon be way too hot here to drop the top (except at night), so that's why we are really enjoying this nice weather while we have it.

Agreed. However, I've been driving with the top down to work every morning over the last week or two. I no longer need my blow dryer for my hair -- LOL. Only bad thing about it is the nasty exhaust fumes I get to inhale from some of the other vehicles on the road (mainly diesel fueled trucks).

I've driven home from work with the top down a couple of times, and it hasn't been that unbearable....at least for me. After the sun goes down though, it is absolutely ideal for cruisin' with the top down!!
