Cold weather! I put the top on my jeep today. It lives at 7440 feet and I had
to drive it 20 minutes away to the shop where it hangs from the ceiling ( the
only way to store a top IMHO ) I plan to bring the Bugeye up to the Big Bear
house to restore it and drive it on nice twisty roads so yes my top might be on
more of the year than other California cars
