Well, it's been here (Florida panhandle) for a while now; I think I
had my soft top up a total of two weeks (yes, the heater works fine).
Unfortunately the cheapie car cover I picked up at Wal-Mart lets pollen
pass through like there's nothing on the car at all.

I will have it up around August, though: here at the Redneck Riviera
the temperature gets around 100F (and a similar number for the
relative humidity); the terry-cloth seat covers my significant other 
made for me (with her own little hands!) can only absorb so much sweat; 
there are so many Georgia and Alabama bumpkins (ahem, no offense) 
cluttering the highway through town during peak tourist season that I 
can't count on going fast enough for evaporation to matter!

Of course, I don't have the problems the folk down in southern Florida do:
there you take your life into your hands driving *any* kind of car in
certain parts of town. But according to Governor Chili-head Chiles, that's
a tourist saftey problem, not a safety problem in general (we locals are
on our own).
