non-lbc:
There was a guy sighted driving his ( I think it was a Firebird ) convertible
'top down' in all kinds of weather through the winter and a local radio station
was trying to get in touch with him. Finally they did. The top didn't raise
anymore, so he put on a tuque and mitts. :)
I used to drive my Fiat Spider top down through the year, but now my rule of
thumb is: if there's a risk of ice or salt on the road, then the hobby car
doesn't go out.
