hi... just got a EOS and was wondering when do we usually go topless in Jersey? without looking silly?

I was visiting a customer three weeks ago on Nov 10th and had the top down, but I think that's rare. I used to live in Ridgewood, and it seemed like we had one week every year when warmth came early in March or April. I would take advantage of any 60+ F day.

top down, deflectors and windows up, seat warmers on full, and heat kicked up

should i cover myself with a blanket? jk......

Only if it's snowing :D

rrvj4 - one can never look silly topless in an EOS (roof down not clothing wise), whatever the weather apart from rain! In which case then one looks a total prat !! :rolleyes:

Happy safe driving.
Gary

ALTHOUGH I LOVE THE EOS.. i am sad that i received it on the day of our first snow fall.. if it would have come the weekend prior... we had a LOVELY day... here in Jersey for December and i would have driven it topless... here is hoping to nice weather !

Glad to see you bought the EOS and not the Beetle. EOSes look much more stylish when driven by attractive women. Beetle drop-tops are for HS chix and 55 YO divorced grandmas.

gotta flaunt going around topless haha

I really thought the EOS was the right fit for me! i would never go for the beetle!

What another nasty day out here in Jersey! i guesse I will dream about driving it top down! :(

as the s2k owners say "more gas = less wet"

:o so just got my EOS a few days ago.. been busy... been playing with it today all day.. drove it around the block with the top DOWN!! topless LOL! had to do it! I LUV IT!

My lower limit is about 8 degrees C!

i freak out when its 40* outside and im from Michigan! lol!!:D

Snowing here today. Eos is in the garage. Looks like lots of snow headed for NJ this weekend. Definitely not top down weather up there right now!

Eos was outside for the blizzard, just cleaned her off

was away for the weekend.. (NYC) and the Jets game. Needless to say... hid my EOS in the garage to keep her away from that snow storm. we only got 11 inches here....

i used by Honda Pilot 4 wheel drive and the trains n subways...

Funny thing is that i had to drive to my sister's house from the train station in north eastern Jersey RIGHT in the middle of the worst part of the snow storm.. the turnpike was bad as hell. THANK GOD for 4 wheel drive!

My baby is still in the garage...

we are having mid 50* days here. got the windows open on the truck its so warm.:p

50 is too cold to me

:(my eos is sitting in the lonely garage.. its been soo icey and cold.. getting ready for another snowy ice storm...

my eos is outside next to my parent's garage, unfortunately she spends most of her time outside

I have been riding her off and on! I need nice weather !!!

just got back from Fl and saw a couple Eos on the roads there, none topless though and the weather was decent for a bit, made me sad

"Decent" to you, me, and the Jersey-ites is still probably "Bundle-up it is freezing" weather to the Floridians right now. It has been a cold week in Florida (for them) but compared to what we've been having I'd take a 55-60 degree day right now easily and put the top down!:cool:

gonna give her a road trip to Florida late March.. looking sooooooooooo forward to riding her up and down the coast! miami and key west!:D

actually it was like 70 when I saw them driving top-up

i am not on the jersey temperature scale due to living in Atlanta for 5 yrs and just getting back from Key West and Grand Cayman

gonna give her a road trip to Florida late March.. looking sooooooooooo forward to riding her up and down the coast! miami and key west!:D

that is quite a long trip

yeah arkansas weather sucks as of late!

i love road trips.. this is not my first down south.. not going to be my las :)

several years ago I drove across country from NJ to Southern Cali!

if i have good company... its fun! get to see parts of America.. that most people dont!

It hit 55 (F) here today and finally got to put the top down tonight on my drive home from work...it's all I could think about all afternoon...saw a Miata with the top down and some whimpy BMW and Jag owners with their tops up.

hit 55 here and my top stayed up, had the sunroof open though

it was pretty warm up here to in Jersey.. problem is I've been sick and sleeping about 20 hours a day... FIGURES! i get my EOS in the winter and I am dying to drive it topless... and the first chance I have... I am out cold :(

I've advised my friends to never buy a convertible in late fall, like I did . . . it's too maddening :)

But I did get to go topless for a drive from DC to Baltimore yesterday, with the temp around 55 degrees. Windscreen and windows up, and heat on, but it was a good fix for now.

Hope you feel better soon.

SOOO TEMPTED this afternoon for lunch.. out and about for a training.. reached 50 degrees. I opened the moon roof... I was warm in the car! FOR A SPLIT SECOND... i had this extreme URGE to open this badboy up... sighhhhh! i didn't... :(

When will it be the right time? This is maddening.... i don't know if I could handle this type of stress!

its in the lower 60s upper 50s here...road trip?:D

I say just go for it, if only for a little while, to get you by until warmer weather. Don't worry about what other people will think - they're all jealous.

In downtown DC tonight, I saw a Sebring with the top down, even though it was only about 40 degrees. A little crazy? Maybe . . . but the way I look at it, it's still a lot more comfortable than my bicycle commute in the same kind of weather.

HA i think I will hold off for a few more weeks...!

LOL, it's quite cold today, but I don't think you'll look silly driving top down at the first hint of spring! I just did NYC to Key West last June. Any stops planned?

nope no major stops planned.. really stopping in Kissimmii then Miami!... key west as well... i got a cruise to catch! on the way up i'm still deciding .. I love savanah, GA and i like to stop at Camp Lejuene, NC (Marine corps base) as I have lots of friends there!...

AND i am getting sick and tired of this cold weather.. It feels like its been going on for ever. probably because I received this car in the dead of winter and really haven't enjoyed driving aroudn topless...

so did you have any stops? on your way down to Key West???

when/where is your cruise going? I'm in CT and just booked one out of Miami in march :)

I just got back from a cruise out of Tampa to Key West and Grand Cayman

on another note just bought my Buffett tickets this morning so Nadia can party topless in Aug at the show with all the other parrotheads

High of 53 today in central Virginia. Had several trips to make around town and made them all with the top down this afternoon. Really quite enjoyable with some heat on and the seat heaters set at 4. :)

very nice :) mine is 6 days from Miami to grand cayman and cozumel...will be a taste of warm weather then back up here for more snow/top up weather I'm sure!

Hi, are you ready for the next snow storm? We left the Bronx at about 11pm, got into Baltimore about 3 am, stopped, rested for a few and hit the road again. We actually made it from exit 3 on the NJ turn pike all the way to the first exit in NC and still had gas. We needed coffee! We stopped at South of the Border SC for friend chiken and gas. Our first real stop was Savannah, GA. What a beautiful city. We spent 2 nights in the Hyat then onto Key West! Amazing trip, I can't wait to do it again! We took I 95 south, then I 75 North back home, through TN, VA, W VA etc..... It was quite scenic.

When will this weather end??? i have been using my 4x4 WAY to much.. I think my EOS is sad... sitting in my garage.. not being used!

I have done the ride many times! I cannnot stand south of the border... LOL its soo gaudy! Savannah is breath taking.. 95 south is what I use.. I LOVE long drives...

I know Nadia is sad, she deprogrammed her remote suddenly for no apparent reason

no keyless entry ftl

7 days out of ft lauderdale end of march.... grand cayman, st. thomas, st. marteen, turks n caicos, bahamas...

There r many cruises in Europe as well. I'm cruising with my hubby. Kids r staying with in laws who live in Florida!

What company are you going with?
Gary

Surely it's top down as soon as you can. Last weekend we went out for the hell of it, 5 C on the outside temp gauge and brilliant sun so top down and heater on full, everything was fine (if a little chilly) cruising at 65 to 70 and a bit more ;) on a dual carriageway, only thing missing was the draft stop which I have forgotted to install :) :D :)

Now's the time to really start enjoying topless here in the northeast :) The last few days were fantastic!

WOW I HAVE been having so much fun zipping around topless... the weather in the northeast has been amazing!

Nadia has been topless most of the week during the day

The past few days were fantastic here in DC. I even had to bust out the Coppertone yesterday.

Made lots of vitamin D naturally this weekend myself :) Not sure my 2 year old in the back seat shared my excitement for top-down driving, though: "I don't like the wind! No wind. Go away!"

Been driving topless for over a month straight.. Well had great weather in NJ.. then I left for MIAMI! spent all my time in my badboy... OF COURSE driving into NJ yesterday.. I BROUGHT IN A COLD spell. COLD AS HELL FROZEN OVER!

IN this cold, I needed to wash my badboy off.. many bugs lost their lives on the grille!...

What's the best polish to use? that will bring out a good shine?

It's cold again here in the NE.....not exactly a topless day today :(

I'm not sure what the best polish is to use.....I just asked the same question in another string......I'm going to try the Turtle Wax Ice stuff in the next few weeks. I'll let you know how it goes......I have to take pics too.

I just detailed my eos and I used Nu Finish.. Looks good. I drove topless all day today!

last weekend I spent 4-5 hours on my baby. Washed, clay bar, wax. Need to do more to the engine bay, just did a little bit of detailing there. Threw a pic up in the forum and going to be adding more as I go through them. Luckily I have covered parking so I am not fully affected by the pollen.

I used to use NuFinish years ago on my corvette.....it worked great on white! A bit chilly to go topless ;) but nothing a little heat can't fix :)

I'm also gonna try that ice product.. They also have the ice clay bar.. My car needs that.. But for now nu finish was a quick fix

another topless day.. Have the windgaurd up and driving to wayne nj topless! Luving it!

I used to use ICE, the wax is good I don't think their liquid clay really works. I don't see how a liquid clay can pull the same type of impurities out like regular.

Mequiars Wash, Mother's Clay and Showtime Polish, NXT Wax, Invisible Glass, Rain-X, Meguiars Wheel Cleaner and Tire Foam

GT....Is that NXT a good carnuba wax??? I totally agree with the liquid clay....it's not as good as a clay bar at all...gotta really work it.

gonna go for the clay bar.. not the liqued version of it. Might stop and get it tomorrow.

Surfer I am pleased so far with the way the NXT 2.0 is holding up, car still looks like it was just cleaned

the only thing is the NXT 2.0 is a liquid wax, not a paste carnuba

I'm going to try Maguire's Gold Carnuba, and see how that goes over the Ice.....I was reading some online reviews, and that seems like a good combination. I'll let you know how I make out, although it looks like we're getting a bit of rain this weekend in NY so I may have to wait until next weekend to clean her up :(
