I live in Atlanta and I've just got to say the owners of the late model
Z3's, SLK's, and other high dollar cars in addition to the myriad of
Miata's are a bunch of wimps. Everyone knows it doesn't get that cold
down here, but I almost want to scream at people when it's 70 degrees
and they drive by with the top up or even worse with the hard top on.
Personally, I think it ought to be a law that if on a pretty day you
don't have the top down then you lose the pink slip.

I always get a laugh when my friends make fun of me driving around on
sunny fall days, with the top down. These are the same people who love
to ski down mountains in sub-zero weather. And they think I'm crazy?
