>I often thought this would be a great idea for summer driving,
unfortunately
I don't know where to start. Went driving through the hills of West
Virginia today with the top down. It was 42 degrees, God knows what the
wind chill was when I hit 90 mph. People looked at me like I was crazy,
and
while I may be crazy (and cold), I was smiling the whole three hours I was
out.

Back in 1984 I was laid off on October 31st after working extra long hours
at the job (I was overtime exempt) so the next day I decided to drive the
TR4 - something I was not able to do for several months previous. I
decided to drive top down even though it was below freezing outside. I
just bundled up. At one point I was waiting at a traffic light and a car
full of Highschool kids looked at me and one commented that I was crazy.
Me return thought (I didn't say it, just thought it) was that they were
wimps.
Sometimes you have to go for the Gusto in life.
