From my limited experience it seems that the 'Sportscar' owners (those
that speak Japanese, German, Italian..) in my area look on me as the
'Phony' or at least lacking in good judgment! The advice that I
received when I was contemplating an LBC (last year) was usually
'..get a Miata..'.
Here I am nine months later top down w/ morning temps in the 30s &
40s, slight mist with forecast of showers, come-to-think-of it, maybe
they ARE right! But who cares?
I do have the tonneau on as the showers may have 'small hail'...
I guess that's what '...4th gear, 3500 RPM and the windshield are
for...'.

PS: I will look for additional input as a participant at the 13th
Annual British Car Show at the Continent on Sunday (9a to 4p, May 18)
to cap the 1st British Car Week. Drive in with your top down and look
me up. (Ohio Lic: MJM TR6, Green <Work-in-progress>)

The explanation is simple...you have a real sports car! They don't
build such a thing in Japan...and only barely on the continent.
BTW, what did you mean "If the sun is bright, the top is outta sight"?
What do you think 4th gear, 3500 RPM and the windshield are for???
Cheers!
