I went on the highway when it was in the 30s with my old 1985 Trans Am with the t-tops off, the heat was on but it did not really reach the people in the back seat. Good times.

it's funny how the ones in the southern states are like double the temps of the guys on the north. Right not it is supposed to be about 60 out and that is very borderline for me. But november was the last time i had the top down, weather was mid 60's. i couldn't imagine doing it in 30's or 40's. My hat's off to you guys that to but again you are more used to those temperatures. for me i avoid going outside in those temps lol.
