Never to c-c-cold for a c-c-cab!!
 
This guy has the Porsche spirit! The guage in my car was reading about 50 degrees, but it felt colder. This guy was prepared for 50 below!

That's cause a cab looks gay with the top down and windows up!! ;)

}{arlequin 11-29-2004 10:36 AM

he *should* be made a Dorki.... that's hardcore, unless the top broke and he's on his way to get the fix done he he

jbrinkley 11-29-2004 10:49 AM

he's one of those who NEVER put up the top

Bob's Flat-Six 11-29-2004 11:03 AM

I'd like to know how he can see with that hood on :rolleyes:

GrantA 11-29-2004 11:32 AM

95 South?? East coast??? Looks like a parking lot!! Are you sure he's moving?? 50 degrees....that isn't even cold. He probably didn't even have the heater on.
But that parka????

dfink 11-29-2004 12:26 PM

Maybe it was just stolen and didn't have time to put the top up.
Sorry I just made another pointless post. :eek:

}{arlequin 11-29-2004 01:07 PM

and those dice.... he needs a beating just for *having* those...

DavidI 11-29-2004 01:22 PM

Hardcore fool!

Oldporsche 11-29-2004 01:49 PM

Man you have it all wrong.

The top was sold on E-bay to help pay for the car. This guy doesn't need a top, he's got the hot dice and cabro. He also has a large container of Jim Beam Egg Nog.

46 F at 0630 hrs on the way to work this morning.....top down, sweater on, no hat.....NO HEAT....do it all the time....%^B

Of course it's only a fifteen minute commute....just enough to warm the engine and get the thermostat to open fully....

Joe Bob 11-29-2004 01:58 PM

BTW....we had a nice cold front move thru yesterday....THIS the view I woke up to this morning ......http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1101769107.jpg

I so miss that, Mike. I'm a Gaucho in the high desert now...

vash 11-29-2004 03:37 PM

that dude could probably cut glass with his nipples.

82SC 11-29-2004 03:38 PM

yeah Socal is beautiful these days...I could see the channel islands from Palos Verdes...the horizon was the crispest I've seen it in years

trj911 11-29-2004 04:46 PM

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

vanwyk4257 11-29-2004 04:46 PM

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!:p :mad: :D

JeremyD 11-29-2004 05:56 PM

And this is the real reason you should look for a manual top Cabriolet.... HAHA!

Yuppperz...that piece of crap 1200 square foot house across the street will go for 900K when the old lady kicks the bucket...and it's a tear down.

david c. 11-29-2004 06:30 PM

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.

Sonic dB 11-29-2004 08:01 PM

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

450knotOffice 11-29-2004 08:26 PM

...uh, are you supposed to put that black thingy in the back <I>up</I> 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.:D

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.

svandamme 11-30-2004 02:40 AM

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
