I drive Sonja March/April-Late Oct here in Milwaukee, and I can still
(after 5 years here) count on my two hands the number of times I've put
her top up. Admittedly, the ease with which this operation is performed
has a small amount to do with that, however since I can blame at least
four of the occasions on my last right seat companion (who was
thin-blooded in the extreme IMHO) it balances out. I just don't see the
need up here. Now, if I lived somewhere where the solar index was a
little higher, I might have a different opinion (and a different summer
car, maybe). Savannah, for instance, shade was nice there. The TR8
guys (and gals) were using their A/C at that one...
