Coldest Weather

So whats the coldest weather everyone drives with their top down (Windows too!)?

Personally I'll go all the way down to freezing, but then again I might be crazy.

50 degrees or warmer is when i put it down. The only exception is early spring if I get too excited.

HaHa, I know that feeling. Get a sunny 45* degree in early February and the top may come down if I'm not hitting the freeway.

I love cruising top down even if its cold. Two nights ago I was out at 2am with the top down.. Wasn't exactly warm. But I paid for it mine as well use it!

When you live in Minneapolis you kind of get used to the cold. 25 was the high in nearly 3 weeks (was below 0 for 3 weeks straight) thats basically feeling like 80 degreees for you when its been that long. Now that I'm used to Southern weather that **** would not fly

When I had my 95 vert the day I was going to get rid of it (late nov) it was about 25-30 out..and well who cares it's the last day to own it. I actually love the feeling of driving in cold weather.. and not to mention the looks like "WTF ARE YOU CRAZY?!"

The greatest invention ever for you ppl who are afraid of cold is Heated Seats

go buy one of the kits just for the drive side and you'll be fine. (No I don't have it either, I'm just naturally crazy

)
