Who is driving top down?

Just wondering who is luckly enough (where) in the northern hemesphere to be driving top down at the end of January.

Not much of that going on in Vancouver. This past week was pretty good. But The hard top is on now. And not worth taking off for a few minutes of pleasure .

Not driving an SL but I did have all of the windows down and the sunroof open today on my C240 . High in the 70's here in Florida. Sort of makes up for the four hurricanes this summer.

Hi ChrisB:

San Diego was beautiful this weekend - sunny and about 65 degrees F. We drove the SL with the top down for all our "chores". Had to use the heated seats and set the heater temp to 82 to keep my wife warm, but we had a great time.

Well, I'm sorry Will, but I had to report this post to the Moderators. You're having way too damn much fun down there while the rest of us freeze our butts off.
A filter has been applied to your account so you can't post anything with the words "sun" or "top down" until April

Keep it up and Chris and I will glue your top to the windshield posts and remove all your hydraulic fluid!!

San Diego has some of most beautiful weather in the US. January and February are particularly wonderful compared to the deep freeze that many cities experience. We've developed a bad habit of sending photos of us enjoying the sun to frozen relatives. But we miss the rain!

For a minute there I thought you were serious. I guess you have not experienced months of rain like the Pacific North West. It is always nice when the clouds part though .

I am serious! San Diego is very dry, only about 9 in of rain a year. But I guess too much of anything isn't good whether it is rain or sun.
