Anyone here put their tops up when it's TOO DAMN HOT outside? I know how hard it is, but sometimes when the sun is directly on your head and your temp gauge says 95+ degrees, do you put it up?

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

 

I live in Tucson--lately 111-115 degrees, by noon. Top down @ 7:00 am on the way to work, top up w/ ac going @ 6:00/7:00 on the way home. No apologies--it's just too damned hot.

 

I wish I had a roadster.... but yeah I would throw the top up in that kinda heat!!! espeicialy being in texas...

 

Heck it got into the high 90's today here in Colorado and I had the top down. I just stopped into 7-Eleven and got a 44oz Slurpee, cooled me right down, .

 

90s in northern cali this week, always drive wit the top down.. in mid day, i wear a cap so my bald head dont get burnt.. :P

 

Hell yeah, I put the top up in 90+ degree heat...

I went to Palm Springs last summer in Aug, left Irvine CA mid morning (low 70's), got to the bottom of the 111 in Palm Spings at noon, 100+ degrees...

Yup, I pulled over turned the AC on and put the top up...

It's not fun to drive when all you can think about is how freak'n hot it is...

I love the top down, wind in my hair, sound of the exhaust note, but I need my AC w/ the top up in 90+ degree weather to keep me cool...

 

Yea top up on real hot days!
Hard to look cool driving when you have sweat pouring down your face.

You can always put more clothes on but can only take sooooo much off.

 

I Always Top Down when i have the chance. If it gets above 90 I just turn the AC on and point the vents at me to keep cool. Just love a vert..

 

I usually put the top down in the morning commute to work and evenings when the sun starts to go down. If it's during the day regardless of 85-100 degree it stays up. The heat from the sun and also the dead air that gets trapped from the engine/tranmission area, the AC is on!

 

I know some of you might be consious of what people think about having convertibles on nice sunny days, but who gives a $hiT when it's hot, it's hot! I need to have cool air.

 

How about Lowest Temps?

I will Drive mine with the top down till it gets below 60.

 

It was about 65 degrees this one night I had the top down... then drove towards the coast and all of a sudden the temp gauge displayed 52 degrees. Thank God for heat and seat warmers!!!

People give me the strangest look when I have the top down whenever it's 70 degrees or below. I'm from the east coast so anything above 55 is considered "warm".

 

Nothing like a case of swamp-butt to kill your image when you exit the Roadster... so it's top up and a/c on when it gets too hot.

 

NEVER! Top down, at worst windows up and AC at maximum!!!!!!

 

Top up only when there are Africanized bees around.

 

Anything over 36F and not raining = topdown. With seatwarmers and A/C I stay comfortible. Don't have a lot of traffic as I'm rarely out during "rush hour" times.

 

I don't put the top up until I am burned too bad. As for too cold, I drove my last vert in a snowstorm with temps around 15 degrees. I got a nice escort service by the state boys from Illinois to the Alabama state line.

 

if its too hot then get outta the heat

 

Yep...>90 degrees and >90 pct. humidity in the noon day sun on pavement in traffic isn't fun. Although, windows up and a/c on can help and is what I do (sometimes). I hate NOT to have the top down when it's not raining. Heck, I even drive in the rain! It takes pretty much a scorcher for me to put the top up. Therefore, I try to avoid the heavily traveled roads.

It's been close to 100's here. I don't have a Roadster but I do have a SB Z with black interior and boy oh boy it gets hot! Forget about driving with the windows down in this car, the hot air from the engine compartment will find it's way into the cabin.
There is a nice advantage I have in this kind of weather...N2O
