To All My Convertible Guys.....

From5ToM24 · 12-23-2014, 08:20 AM

I can't wait until the winter is over!!!!!! Anybody counting down the days like me? Daily Driving just isn't the same with the up driving like regular folks...

burtonsbs5114 · 12-23-2014, 09:11 AM

I certainly am!! I picked up my e93 late early November so I haven't had a change to drive with the top down yet. Needless to say, I CANT WAIT!!!!

From5ToM24 · 12-23-2014, 09:51 AM

I got mine September 30th. I got it the top down about 7 times and I loved it. Most of the time it was about 55 degrees with the heat on but who cares!!! Gonna hit some subtle mods during the winter and when March hits it's back to business!!

I feel bad for y'all. Down here in Houston, its convertible weather 9 months out of the year

Oddly enough summer isn't the time to have the top down! It gets way to hot and humid!

Genericuser1 · 12-23-2014, 10:59 AM

I never really liked summer or shall I say didn't look forward to 85+ degree days but I sure do now.

wildwestm3 · 12-23-2014, 11:06 AM

Mine is all cleaned up with fuel stabilizer and a battery tender keepin everything charged-up. I went out last night and started it up, which made me happy and sad at the same time. Good thing is that the miles aren't piling-up over the winter. I put 8K miles on the car last summer! Needless to say, I love driving it. You can't beat top-down driving in that car. Come on Spring!

How do you figure. It's way too damn hot to not be hidden behind tinted windows with the AC cranked up.

You're telling me. I just got the oem exhaust mod done 2 weeks ago and got a small taste of the blissful sound with the top down for just a few minutes. Completely different than stock! Now I have to wait another 4-5 months...

^THIS!!!

MrPrena · 12-23-2014, 08:06 PM

Same.
I want to put down the top. Can't wait till May.

MineralWhiteDropTop · 12-23-2014, 08:38 PM

Move to California

1MOREMOD · 12-23-2014, 08:43 PM

Put on a tank top, put the top down and play freeze out with your friends. First one to put clothes on gets dropped on side of road.

Ditto, dropped the top both ways to the office today.

dallas06m3 · 12-24-2014, 12:01 AM

I'll have the top down Thursday and Friday. I love Texas!

e93 jonesy · 12-24-2014, 12:39 AM

Ahhhhhh... originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada... and convertible weather is 3 months of the year... 2 yrs ago my wife and I moved to San Diego, CA... top down weather all year round... we haven't looked back.

We love California. But from time to time we miss a little bit of home...

Anyways, today it was 25C... Drove home with the top down, turned off the radio, listen to my modded oem exhaust from eas... love it!!!

Flying Ace · 12-24-2014, 12:41 AM

At least you get your trunk space back with the top up. Think of the possibilities of what you can store back there!

May??? The first day over 55 degrees in March I'm going for it!

wildwestm3 · 12-24-2014, 08:05 AM

If you guys like the OEM exhaust mod, you should look in to the Borla cat-back. I have that on my car and it is amazing. Nice, deep rumble and opens up nicely when you get on the loud pedal...

GLZ · 12-24-2014, 08:41 AM

Glad the 'vert guys are showing up. Just got mine in November but had 335 vert before. Here's my question. Happy with the top down on a sunny day at 50 degrees with windows up. Do I want a wind deflector or is it a waste? How many extra top down days will I get from it?
