Its been high 90's - 100 here for the past few weeks (yes it does get that hot in Canada), I always put the top down unless I'm stuck in traffic. AC makes a big difference.

Top down, windows up, AC on - even at 108 degrees on the 5 freeway coming home from Sears Point last week.

Last weekend I didnt drive around till it got dark (top down). All last week when i went to work at 8am it was already 85+. That was the only time i would have the top down. With 101+ temps and 50+ humidity was too much to have the top down. Hopefully its better this week. It sux having your work clothes stuck to your body.

When the sun is out, driving a 350Z roadster with the top up is blasphemy! This is why Zeus gives us lightning storms after hot sunny days when ‘he’ sees Z’s with their tops up, it really pisses him off!

I've done this a couple of times. I'd rather not bake (ESPECIALLY in traffic). Do you guys just tough it out?

Nope. Love the roadster in the summer when the sun is gone, else it is best in the spring and fall. When it hit 115, I parked my baby and brought out the hardtop sedan. Just waiting for things to cool off.
