Don't drive my Pony much in the winter here in PA. But today is sunny and 56 degrees for the high. Drove her to work today and just had to go out for lunch and drop the top. A little chilly but who would think you would be able to go topless in the middle of January in western PA? You need days like this to hold you over till springtime arrives.

Anyone else been lucky enough to drop your top in January? (I'm talking about cold weather folks)

It is around 55 degrees her as well and if I wasn't at work I'd take the stang out for the first time since November Unforunately the temp is only going to be around 10 this weekend.

I'm going to hook up the battery tonight and take mine for a few quick laps around the block tonight. First time on the road since November 29th.

We have that same winter heat wave up here in Toronto

It's 52ish here in CT. Was thinking about taking the Stang out from under the cover but roads are wet and sandy from the snow melting and did not want to get it dirty

Maybe tomorrow..52 expected tomorrow.

D'oh! I took the road coverage off my car for the winter so I can't legally drive it anywhere...at least my insurance payment went down by 58% Soon enough we'll get a blast of arctic air and all of this lovliness will be gone :bang:

Would like to take mine out as well but since I just took the lights out to get painted I'm not legal :bang: I guess we better enjoy it now, looks like perhaps snow this weekend.

Topless for two days. At the peak yesterday it was 70 degrees.

And tomorrow and Saturday have potential too.

if you are at tennessee or below, or on the west coast, there should be no talk from you all---we midwesterners are happy to be able to do it in mid-january (drop the top that is)---it was about 52 in Detroit, nice going to lunch meeting, bu tchilly on the way home but having the sun out was well worth the drop--alot of looks to--either looks like look at the crazy guy with the top down in january or man, wish i could do that--

Had mine out today with the top down up in Boston. Work has been heck this week, and this was just the sort of stress reducer I needed

Road coverage is off my car as well... I did however take it out for a quick spin around the block, which turned into a 25 minute drive.

Don't tell the insurance company :nono:

Glad you got to drive it. I would be going nuts if I couldn't drive mine and it was brand new.
