Every time there is some clearing I take her out. Not much of an opportunity yet. Where in Wyoming?

You people are killing me! Brought my car home from the dealer 34 days ago and took an extended 55 miles to get home from the dealer, that was only eight miles from my home and it's sat in the garage ever since. Still waiting for snow to melt and the run off across the roads to finish. With this week's milder weather I am hoping to get out next weekend.....numerous daily stare sessions out in the garage can only work for so long.

A post like this requires a photo. Here's one I took recently riding 'TOPLESS' through N GA.

I feel your pain! I drove my car home from the dealer 260 miles away on March 8. The weather and roads we great for March in the northeast. It started snowing as I pulled into town and there has been no good weather since getting home. It has not even been warm enough to take her out and wash off the splashes from the ride home. Tough being patient sometimes. At least I got her home without incident and I know she's safe and sound!

The removable top has surprised me to be one of my favorite and most unique features if this great car. It is great to have a totally buttoned up ride with the transparent top on and be able to pop it off on a nice day, turn up the radio and flip through the gears listening to the NPP - just awesome!!
