Temp at 54 degrees.

What is it with people who own roadsters or even convertibles, that they put the tops up when it's too hot and run the air. Or too cold so they run their heaters. I mean driving a sports car should be a bit rugged and tough. None of that modern comfort stuff. Bear up and drive it like you're supposed to. Top down, manual trans, work it, raw cold edge driving. Live it real.

Good thing I have heated seats.

I'm with you Franc, except when the wife is in the car. I always ask her why the hell she wanted a convertible if she never wants the top down.
