Hows this I live in Vancouver BC Canada, Bought my 05 Red Roadster in California in July. Never saw Rain there and will never see rain here. Drive it on dry sunny days only, rarely ever see snow in this city, but rain like Seattle. Yes Canada no snow! Funny we are having 2010 Winter Olympics, but in the mountains looking down on the city there will be Olympic events like Ski Jumping. Had 20 feet there last year and 30 feet at Whistler 2 hours away. We live in the best place on earth. Sorry for your snow troubles I will think of you when I drive to Starbucks tomorrow in the sun 52 degrees no top down though, When storage is being done try to run it once a week to keep the battery up. Read too many problems when battery dies.
