45-50 deg..... with the Miata sitting in the sun the black vinyl warmed up enough to make it pliable enough for fold down.

Good enough for me.

No jacket. . . just a long sleeved shirt. The car's heater and venting system kept me toasty warm even with the windows down. Drove home that way in the evening, too.

Here are a few winter pictures. The GTI and I got caught in Cedar Rapids, IA for work in a bad winter storm. This was just after driving to a project site at a power plant. Driving home after 6 more hours of steady snow was quite an ordeal. Thank god for the blizzaks.

Thanks RMR. All in all I have really enjoyed this car. It’s a great all a rounder that is fast, competent and very comfortable. It's super easy to get squirrelly when you want to. The clutch is old school BMW and not super light like all the new cars. It’s going to be hard to replace.

I still get random compliments from people even though it’s not a very rare or special car.

Nice composition, Ed.

And this is my picture from today. Clean s54 makes me . Also added a front strut bar after the valve adjust. Thanks go to Nick for seeing the FSB for sale @ Turner Motorsports and to forum dude who did a careful, impeccable job of the adjustment in just under 3 hrs, charging way less than any shop.
