And if it snows a lot I'll put the top down.

I'm collecting parts to get mine on the road. Hopefully the temperature is +65* from today when I finish it.

Message me what parts you are looking for. I have 2 SPGs, a few parts cars, a spare Turbo engine and manual trans plus a few convertibles.

In reply to Gearheadotaku:

Very rarely. My record for top back cruising was 100 miles and 18 degrees out last year.

Let me know when it looks like this in Atlanta:

Oh and we don't get a lot of snow. About an hour south they get lake effect snow and they had one storm this year that gave them 2 1/2 ft. in one 24hr period.

We had a melt about 10 days ago or we would have more.

This was Atlanta this last weekend.

Oh, you mean that other Atlanta, the one south of the Mason Dixon line. Shrug, who cares

I should have just bought that nice one that you had that may have needed a transmission.

The one that I traded for needs a top, a clutch and some trans linkage tinkering. I did get it running and moved it around in the driveway, so that was a nice victory. Mostly, though, I just need to buy some new parts to supplement the basement- and garage-loads that I already have.

all I can warn you.. top down in the snow is a lot of fun, but snow gets -everywhere- and when it thaws...

My front yard in South Buckhead/North Atlanta:

It's not snow drifts, but we got several inches and a lot of ice. I grew up in upstate NY and of course I've seen far worse, but not down here. Especially as far as the ice goes. And, unlike up north no one has the tires or experience to drive in it.

Speaking of top-down snow fun, here's one also in Atlanta from a couple years ago. Buddy of mine in his miata (JSymonds on this board).

Just a little snow here as well.
