Robert,
I don't know if you have driven a Spridget in hot weather with the top up.
It gets almost unbearably hot. There is so much engine and transmission
heat coming in and the little side windows cannot cope. If you had a zip
out rear window, it might be ok. I guess long highway drives might be ok
too. Used to live in 110 degree Tucson, AZ...
