Thumbs up The Perfect Temperature !

What's the perfect temperature for cruisin with the top down , night or day ?
For me way down here in the deep south of north Louisiana its between 75 and 80 degrees .
So far this month we've had about 2 solid weeks of perfect cruisin weather .

That sounds about perfect here as well but with much lower humidity than your area probably. Heading on a short trip through the north GA mountains this afternoon to take advantage.

"PERFECT" for me would be a summer night here in FL. 75 degrees and a nice full moon to light things up.

california is the perfect temperature.
anything 60-80 degrees is great. above and below that and things start getting a little uncomfortable for me.
even on a super cold night, i'll just throw a big jacket on and turn up the heater.
