Daily drove our AP1 from 2003-2007, top down most times except for Winter. One day a co-worker asked, "did you do something different with your hair?"
I hadn't. But then it dawned on me... it was raining and it was one of the few days I had left the top up.... Honda Hair, FTW!

I do the same thing! In the summer, it doesn't matter what I do before work--it always looks the same.

DDing the S, it isn't always a peach in the winter here in Salt Lake City--after too many snowy days I wonder why I'm not in an Audi/STI/anything with AWD, a metal roof, and no rattles. I get through by dropping the top now and then or tooling around in the snow with RWD, but the first day I get the summer tires back on is when I really fall in love with the car again.
I wouldn't mind having a miserable-weather-only beater car though. If it's snowing, the S does just fine on the road with the right tires, but it's not any fun to commute in, so it feels like I'm wasting the car in a sense.

FYI, the sun is directly above at 12pm, but the hottest time of the day is around 2pm.

Set it on cruise control with the top up and the air conditioner turned on to the lowest setting (one click above "off"). I got 35.4 mpg once, 33.XXX at least twice, and the rest of the time, I got between 29.9 - 32 mpg. I set Stacey to cruise control for the majority of the trip.

since 10/03 this has beenmy main car. I have another that seats 5 and has a 6 speed, but i choose this one every day i can. i use it to do costco shopping and general errands as well as commute and going out for a ride. I have never been so satisfied with a car over all.
Now, I would improve it if possible, slightly larger cabin, better quality leather, real guages, a better stereo, a frew little extras in the electrics dept, sat/nav, more torque...oh...then it would be a boxster S.
Continues to return the simple joy of driving, reliable as pig iron under water, i do my own maintenace, decent mpg every day no matter how i drive or where i drive, love those on/off ramps and track days. best dam gearbox on the planet, great brakes, nice suspension, car needs major mods to enjoy.
