Do you use it much in the winter?

I drive mine all the time. I'm looking forward to a top-down drive home today. It's supposed to get close to 60* here later.

We are expecting a fairly warm 47* day here.

So far, we've had a few fairly mild weeks this winter. Hoping it lasts and spring comes early, along with top down rides.

I don't drive my S unless it's after 8pm. It's not snow it's snowbirds. My S isn't safe on the roads from mid feb thru march.
I've learned to dodge them. The Senile Senior Slalom (AKA Triple S Run) is much more fun than those boring plastic cones.

I drive mine every day with the top down, unless it's raining, which isn't very often. See my sig.

Took it for a spin (not literally ) yesterday. First time in over a month since I rarely drive the S2000 in the rain. Living in Seattle that limits my S time. For the most part the only time the S leaves the garage when it is raining is to auto-x.

Went to check out the new Cayman S and 997S. I've been having Porsche lust for a while now. I figured selling the S and the S4 and getting a 997 C4S might be a possibility.

After ripping around a bit in the S2000 that thought went away for a while. I still love this car. It just feels really weak out of VTEC after so much seat time in the S4. Maybe a turbo is in order....

It would be a helluva lot cheaper than 106K (MSRP on the P-car I saw)

I prefer driving it in winter. I don't need to goop myself with sunscreen. We had temps in the low 80's one day last week. I was tempted to put the top up and turn on the AC.

And here we sit, wishing for temps in the low 80's and hoping that we soon will need sunscreen too.
