No.  Not today with the top.  But I did drive it 70 miles and back to Clarici's 
house top down a few weeks ago.  Heavy scarf, driving gloves, and an Indiana 
Jones hat made for an interesting sight cruising along the garden state parkway 
@ 65 MPH.  One kid on the way home walked over and asked me if I was a crazy 
person.  I was in the roadside service station gasing up at the time.  She was 
quickly shooed away by her mother.  She must have thought I was nuts, too.
