Daily driver here in Wash DC, except weather extremes. CR soft top & sidewindows offer decent rain & weather resistance, but have to duct tape hood scoop for hard rain. Good heater, and 20 degree days don't bother it, or me. Ice & snow, I leave it home. Could put all weather tires on it, but other idiots can't drive in ice & snow. Why chance it. Way back when my TR-4 was my only car, I drove it in ice & snow. Side window plastic needs to be treated gently below freezing or it will crack.

DC about as bad as Houston for humidity in summer. Next engineering exercise will be A/C for a truly all weather Cobra. If I lived in Phoenix, it wouldn't be optional.
