This. Unfortunately, living at high elevation sucks for this reason. I used to drive the SS with the T-tops in the trunk, the Miata with the roof down, and the Supra with the targa off whenever possible when I was living in Phoenix. Up here at 6500' though, forget it. Five minutes to sunburn anyone? No thanks.

Try about half that here last night. Targa's staying on until April or so, unless I get that bug up my ass to bundle up, crank the heat, and go driving with the top off and windows down just to screw with all the locals. :biglaugh:
^ lol. this will be the first winter with the targa. im a smoker so my window/s are always down and when i had one, sunroof open. put on a sweatshirt, crank the heat and your good to go! as long as it isnt snowing, ill rock it roofless a few times lol. cuz we all know once it starts to average 25* if you get a 40-45* day, you're in shorts lol.

Haha, very, very true. People in warmer climates think you're insane for asking how the pool has been around the holidays.
Doesn't really make much difference in my case, my targa still leaks pretty badly, so I get treated to a cold wet pant leg more often than I care to, gonna have to replace those side seals soon I think.
GAHHH!!! the infamous drip. i always take off from home thinking, "Oh cool no leak this time!" then as soon as i hit that first right turn.... DAMNIT!!!!! wet leg, ruined a few cigarettes that way too lol. but when i do remember it rained the night before i will put a shirt or something on my leg to catch the water.
A shirt on the leg? Hmm... now I feel like an idiot for not thinking of that myself. Actually just realized I have a shamwow, that'll do even better I think. So, fixing the side seals should fix that drip huh? I guess that's one way of staying cool with the targa on.
Gonna sound like a ghetto-mod (okay, well it is) ...
I put electrical along the sides of the targa, effectively sealing the drip rails (between targa skin and trim piece) and I had no leaks what so ever from the targa anymore. Trust me, it isn't the seals. I replaced all 4 of mine at the same time and still had the same damn leak. Sealed up that drip rail and no more leak
