Not to make anyone feel bad.... but here in Arizona its the start of vert/t-top weather! We cannot go topless in the summer because of heat stroke, skin cancer, melted plastic, dehydration etc. We LIVE for this time of year AND we deserve it in this God forsaken city!!
May it be a quick winter for you guys!

I have not driven mine all year. It' s been in the shop at the college. But it's worth it!!!
It may not come out until spring, but that would keep it warm and dry inside. That would be okay.
