Wife and I went out on Tuesday after work. Beautiful sunny day but only 40 degrees. Little chilly with the top down. Wife had her winter coat on. Stopped at a store and a guy coming out commented about the cold. I commented back that this maybe one of the last rides before it’s parked for the winter.

This is the answer. I may try to get out today, but that will likely be it until April.

I'm on borrowed time.
It's going to hit 60 today and it's supposed to be nice next week.
Time to take advantage......

Put the vert away last week. It was about 45 outside and we went for a short ride with the top down. Heater on. People gave us thumbs up a few time.

Into its Winter boudoir went The Plastic Pig. About 42F, a might chilly, but we did manage to squeeze in one last pedal to the metal (so to speak) lead-foot blast.

Nice looking car. I'm not trying to pic it apart, it looks fantastic. But it looks like a little winter 'tweaking' of the hinge adjustments could bring the rear/top in to match a little better. Might help the sealing action. Cheers.

LOL, and that was supposed to happen, but for reasons out of my control, has been postponed to Spring.

Whether it can be improved is a matter of some conjuncture.
