Thornus · 01-15-2008, 03:23 PM

58 degrees, sunny, jacket, sweater, scarf, driving gloves, top down, 70 miles per hour and a stupid grin on my face that made the other drivers point!

Woot!

Amen brother; love driving mine too. I have only been able to drive once with the top down (be nice Jayman), but it's my daily driver and it is so much fun I find myself wishing it took longer for me to get to work and to get home from work.

You know the thing comes with a heater right...? just turn it on. It'll melt you out at 58 degrees outside.

Thornus · 01-15-2008, 05:26 PM

Hey! Born and raised in Florida! If its below 70 its a freaking blizard!

And the gloves...only when i'm in the car. I mean i'm not gonna walk around in the damn things. Thats just....goofy!

Blue Sky Redline · 01-15-2008, 05:32 PM

try top down at 135, now thats a hoot ( of course I was on a track )

Thornus · 01-15-2008, 05:34 PM

did you film that? if i recall there was a movie with the girlfriend in the passenger seat filming and there was a lot! of wind noise!

Sunny Ragtop · 01-15-2008, 06:27 PM

Zoom Zoom is right. Since my Sky is our Extra car and driven only on nice days I NEVER get tired of him (my Sky is a HE!). After driving my bouncy Xterra, it's special to crawl into the snug cockpit of the Sky, strap in, wrap my hands around the steering wheel and gear shifter knob, then fling him around. Yep, the smiles keep coming. Ignore the MPH, I count the SPH (Smiles Per Hour)

I also crank up the heat on cold top down days. We rode the BlueRidge Parkway in the mid 30's with the top down and oh what fun.

Hot Summer cruisin always calls for the A/C to be on. Who says you have to be the temp of the outside?

Let's try to avoid the public streets racing stuff, but both models are drag limited, and IIRC the RL is something like 142 or 145 or somewhere around there.

Hmmm....so how fast do they go with a real chick riding shotgun?

SXY SKY in CA · 01-15-2008, 09:46 PM

Here's a pic of me coming back from San Francisco on July 1st at about 7:30am. The weather over there was terrific (photo of Bridge)

However, when I got back to the East Bay well

- they say a picture is worth a thousand words (feel free to fill in the blanks)!

willis · 01-15-2008, 09:51 PM

I had my 2.4 Sky 125 MPH with the top up. My new RL only has 300 miles on it so I have not ran it very hard yet. I do know the 40 to 80 time is great and I was not on it very hard

You want to ride with Capt. Gas pedal?... C'mon down. I am happy if I can keep him under 80 with me in the car. -J
