From the Miata project thread - though no luggage rack that I can see.

A few years later and we got a 2010 NC and I got to tell you, I love that car! And somehow I now think that it looks awesome. I didn't care for the PRHT, I like the idea, but think it looks ugly up and adds unnecessary complication to a car that has THE best soft top operation. here it is this morning -

Meanwhile, in Oregon...

(Also, mad props to whoever has their top down in the snow. Keep the roadster open as much as possible).

It was the guy that doesn't have a roof for his.

I'm in the Cleveland-ish area and it was 9°F this morning on my drive in. I was thankful for a roof and heat.

I saw a younger kid with the top down here in Pittsburgh earlier in the week. (Rt60, Robinson) Mad props.

wish I could claim credit, because it was something I have done. I was driving around with the sunroof open today in 32 degree weather.. does that count?

I'm in Cleveland, and nearly passing out from low blood sugar and cold exposure, so... Nope.

I'd do it! Don't know about the other gens, but my NB's heater can melt your eyeballs once it gets to full operating temp

I drove in light snow with top down on my S2000 a few times, hat and gloves, big puffy jacket, heat blasting. You definitely get some looks

After some jerk tried to knife the roof on my 944 cab (it's not possible) it snowed while the top was off...it was an interesting drive in Chicagoland.

Well, it's an effective way to see what's going on around you.

It's an effective way to keep the windows from fogging over, is what it is.

^^^^^This.

I'm amazed by the amount of buzz this pic has generated. Are we as a society so Bob Costa'd out that a dude getting chilly is worthy of taking over social media to such an extent?

Make sure you do it in the snow. Otherwise it is hard to tell that its cold out from a picture. Additionally, wear something like a stormtrooper helmet or cowboy hat.
