I'm confused. July has been an extremely hot month here in the DC Metro 
area (and probably where you are too). I don't put my top up due to the 
heat, but I do crank the A/C to 4, and it helps. So I can *ALMOST* 
understand why someone in a Miata would drive with their top up and the 
A/C on when it's really hot out.

However, this morning on the way into work, the temp was a beautiful 75
degrees Fahrenheit, and the sun was shining brightly. I saw 5 other Miatae
along my route. Guess how many of them had their tops down?  Give up? 

ONE!!!! One other driver besides me who went topless this morning. I 
don't get it. Why in the hell would anyone buy such an awesome roadster, 
and decide to keep the top up when the weather is perfect for top-down 
driving? 

Is there anyone on this list who can explain this mystery to me? It's not 
a matter of it being too hot for having the top down. It was, like I 
said, about 75 degrees.

PS - If you drive with your top up when it's 75 and sunny, can you please 
give your car to my wife?
