Triton,
Eric finished my car almost exactly a year ago. I debated driving it home vs. taking a trailer to pick it up vs. having Eric deliver it and decided to have it delivered. It arrived on December 1, a cold day threatening snow. My greatest concern was snow and rain; not the cold. With the soft top up and the heater on, you'll be cozy in a winter coat in the 40's with no problem. I wouldn't bother with the tonneau cover: it flaps a lot at highway speeds and doesn't really keep you warm. If it's nice out, go topless; if it's cold, put up the top. The tonneau is for nice weather when you want to hide the stuff in your car or keep off the dust, rain showers, etc. I have the fuel cell also and stop for gas about every 150 miles. On a long trip, I drive an hour, stop for a break, drive another hour and gas up. I've never driven my car in the snow, but it does get squirrelly in heavy rain at highway speeds. I know exactly how you feel and was deeply disappointed when it became apparent I wouldn't be able to drive my new car home but, in retrospect, spending $500 or so to have my car delivered was a good decision. My advice is to check the weather and if you think you can depend on having two days of no rain or snow, it should be an enjoyable trip. If you look at the weather report and have any misgivings, either wait it out or have Eric deliver the car. Congratulations and good luck. You'll love the car.
BTW: What route are you planning to take?
