We take the vert out up here down to the 30s if the roads are cleared of the chemicals. Its been in the 50s for a while but the roads are still white with the salt powder. Will probably go out this weekend.

My season was 24/7 day and night in Vegas. Heated seats in winter and AC in summer.

I have to be way more selective in England but any blue day is a top down day. I just choose the clothing to match.
