What is the coldest drive w/top down?
I went driving yesterday morning and the temp was 5C/41F. It wasn't that cold but Pesto took a while to warm up enough to hold an idle .

Re: What is the coldest drive w/top down?
Many years ago (76) we went to Manning Park to do some snow camping and x-country skiing. December was cold. first night was in a tent, but second was in a cabin. Second morning was -32 deg C. My 70 spider started eventually and we drove back to Vancouver dressed like we were climbing in the Himalayas.
Plenty of winter driving in Vancouver around the 0 (32 F) mark.

Last Jan 1, I participated in the local Gila Run. I left the house with no top and the temp was 30. The first 35 miles of the day was at freeway speeds. Boy, was i smart to install heated seats.
