I totally agree. Last winter, I went on a 300 km trip with the hood down (it was 0°C) and I had a great time. I would love to drive my SLK in extreme temperatures (-30°C or -40°C) but due to global warming we have relatively mild winters now! Whenever we have one of our occasional Siberian cold spells, I shall drive with the hood down and take some piccies!
