Coldest temp driving with top off?

[Klink]

46 degrees this morning. Had my steering wheel and seat heaters on and dash vents on high heat. Jeans and light sweatshirt with a ball cap. My ears got a little cold but not so much I had to put my hood on. Return trip on this mild and dry spring day made it well worth it.

Love a winter drive with the top down. None yet in my Bronco since it's not built but plenty in the past when I had Miatas.

I did a Christmas parade in December 2021, it was -10F the heated seats, wheel and heater were welcomed.

I've done 43* on my bike - no heated gear, no windscreen/batwing. That sounds positively balmy -LOL

I have rode my motorcycles and open jeeps in the teens…in my old age do put the top up on my mustang when it gets in the low 40s but the model A doesn’t have doors so those early mornings are chilly…

I was just thinking this same question today as we drove through town with the top back. It was mid 40's with a good bite to it when driving. Seat heaters are like nuclear reactors anyway though so those along with the heat blowing made it very manageable. Got more than a few looks from folks though.

Hard to have a bad day tooling around town on a sunny spring afternoon with the top down!

75mph at 14 degrees gets pretty sporty.

I work nights and usually ride a motorcycle. 6AM temps get pretty cold, so I guess I get used to it.

i flipped the top back when it was 32° outside. 60mph gets pretty chilly.

65, with doors off as well. Had heat and seat heat to help me - I'm a desert rat, so anything below 80 is cold in my book.

I might be in the running if we have a "Hottest temp driving with top off" thread!

I have picked the kids up from school on sunny days with the temp around 45 degrees with the roof panels off. I would not want to hit the highway at that temperature with the top open. I think that above 55F is the sweet spot for the kids to be comfortable with coats on.
