Default 40° Outside

But not a cloud in the sky. Since my wife got a new Altima we usually use that for every day driving. Today I took out the Camaro to drop her off at work, On the way back I dropped the top. There was still snow and ice on the side of the road but it wasn't bad. Anyways just turned the heater on high and enjoyed the day. Haha the looks I was getting though.

Good for you, nothing like a brisk drive with the top down, the ls1 loves the cold air too.
Kudos, had mine out today too, not 40 here but cool anyway. Even had time to wash and wax followed by another drive

My winter top down action comes from turning the heat up in the garage, dropping the top, and playing some loud tunes Red seems to be up on stands more than off them lately.

I saw a BMW Z4 the other day with the top down, it was 18 degrees. I figured the top must be broke and he was driving it to the dealership.

If my car wasn't filthy right now I would have dropped the top the last few unnaturally warm days. I've had it down in like 5-10 degree weather before. Now thats when you start to get strange looks.
