Only those who are extremely confident in their masculinity or have allergies like Fitz would ever put a top up on a Cobra. They are also pretty limber to enter and alight from the bloody thing. I had heat in the SPF and it was useless...
You guys...

Yeah, get the heater. I'm 6'6" tall and can get in and out of my car with no problem with the top on. In four years I've had the top on dozens of times. On many occasions I've started out in the morning with the top up and the heater going full blast, stowed the top during the day and then put it up again for the evening or the trip home. Having a top and a heater has made it possible to enjoy this car MUCH more than I would have without them. Having a heater also means you have a defroster, so when it's raining buckets and the windshield fogs up and you're trying to keep the freakin' car going in a straight line on the Interstate, you can see the back of the semi trailer while you're still behind it and not underneath...

In previous incarnations I worked outside too, but now I have a wimpy job where it's warm in the winter and cool in the summer and I spend most of my time sitting on my a$$, so heated seats sound pretty good, too...

Matter of fact, thanks for reminding me: I was planning to take the seats out anyway for some other maintenance, so this would be a good time to run them over to the local upholstery shop and have him slip in a set of heaters.
