I like it! I have a neighbor who drives his Cobra almost year round and there is no top to put up.

I got to watch the cold rain melt the last of the 8 inches of snow that I had in my yard from last week Wednesday. Thanks for reminding my how much winter sucks Mike, I really appreciate it!

That guy has good form, yet I fear he is but an amateur. I drove across the country last week in a 912 with no heat. His little commute was probably like 1/500th of my trip. I've been here for five days and I still can't feel my toes. I still give him two thumbs up for the form. Loving Porsches is a self-imposed disability we all share to some varying degree.

The guy looks like the UniBomber out getting some air in his brothers 911 on the way to a bombing.

...uh, are you supposed to put that black thingy in the back up when it's cold?

I LMAO because that guy is just like me!

I just put a hat on, wear a jacket, and turn the heat ALL the way up. If I had wanted to drive with the top up, I would've just bought a coupe.

mikez,
You gotta stop showing those pics of the islands or we won't have any place to park.
Nice view from your house BTW.

driving topless is more fun in cold, but dry weather
espeacially when it snowed recently

obviously , 15 C below zero is to much of a good thing
but if it's 5 below , then you turn the heater to full
good jacket and something to keep the scalp warm
nice drive through a forest

bit like skying , wind in your face and fresh air

you don't wanna go above 60mph then , cause you will get windchill
but a nice cruise is very fun in these conditions
