2 questions for targa owners

1. Almost all the time as long as it's not TOO HOT and it's not wet. My definition of being too hot is definitely not the same as others here in San Diego.
2. Never. I have too much crap back there.

I took the top off for about 15 minutes of So. Cal. sun and it was too darn hot. The top of my head felt like it was sizzling. Pulled over and quickly put the top back on. Might be fun to remove the top on a cruise on a hot evening!! Maybe a hat would help - give AC and I'm fine. Stored it in the T-Top storage compartment.
When I had the 95, I removed the heavy targa engine cover and installed a mesh engine cover. The targa fit quite nicely in the trunk with a blanket around it.

I drive with the top off 99% of the time. Even light sprinkles aren't a problem.fangtl said:
When it is off it is stored in the t-top carrier.fangtl said:

I drive with the top off all the time. I do not drive the car in the rain. I put the top in the targa storage area.
Again, why would someone store it in the trunk?

1) I take off my roof panel whenever the weather is at least 70 degrees and I'll be driving for at least 30 minutes. In other words, most of the time I drive my NSX (I love L.A...or, should I say, living in L.A. near the beach).
Actually, I haven't taken off my roof panel during most of our canyon drives because I've had bad experiences when doing so (too hot under the direct sun, too cool and breezy under the marine layer). And I probably won't take off the roof whenever I shoot in-car video.
Also, it's best not to get caught in The Valley with the top off...I've been stuck in traffic on the 101 in 90+ degree weather (why I didn't take the coastal route was beyond me).
2) I've never put it in the trunk (and don't see any reason too since I don't mind keeping my engine covered)

every chance I get
My office is 4 miles from my home, and when I get out of work, I'll rip the top off, throw it in the storage area and ride home with a smile on (weather permitting). I see no reason to use the trunk, it's for other stuff

The weather has been particularly nice around here for night time roof-off drives. Just last weekend I enjoyed such a drive.
Since I have had nothing but convertibles for the past 4 years, getting my NSX with the targa option was essential. I am addicted to top down driving.
I ride with the top off as often as I possibly can. Even when it is too hot to do it, I will often pull it off.
When I get my third beater car soon, the top may never go back on it during Spring/Summer/Fall since I will only be driving it when it is not raining.

I don't take the roof off as much anymore. I only do it when there is little to no sun. These past summer nights have been great!
I either store it in the engine cover area, or I just wrap it in a banklet and leave it at home (only when I do some point A to point A driving).

i know someone that used to drive with top off 100% of the time
top off for me depends on whether i'm doing freeway or local driving.
don't wanna mess up my hair.....
and no, i never put my targa in the trunk.....why do that when i can store it in the targa compartment.

I don't take mine off during canyon runs because I feel a little unsafe. (Plus it's usually HOT!)
It's almost always off at night. But it all depends on my passenger as well. If my daughter is with me, she wants it off at all times when it's not hot. Even when it's cold outside, she wants it off! (Just like her big daddy.
)
I hear Mr. Wolf can't put his in the trunk. There's no room in his trunk because of the dead body... 
1) I try to drive with the roof off as much as possible. Since I don't drive my car in the rain, and it doesn't rain here much, that's quite often!!
2) Like most other NSX-T owners, I store it in it's holder

i dont have a T....but my convertible is down about 90% of time....as longgggg as there isn't any rain!!!! if i have a T, it would be down 100% of the time....i am a sun lover!!!!
I take mine off every once in a while. Usually at home when we do so, and I put it in the laundry room until we get back.
Does your wife complain about how it messes her hair up? Do I need to buy her a cap? Please note this is a wife only question --- girlfriends do not complain until after they are married.

I keep my roof out from may to october, unless I get caught in the rain. It stays stored in its holder. I made an NSX "hat" out of a car cover which covers the greenhouse, but not the rest of the car. I put that on when i park it in the sun at work.
I origionally wanted a convertible, but settled for a targa.

Off most of the time... I like to hear the engine more than the CD player
The Palomar run last weekend was a little toasty, but you can still run A/C on the toes.

Thanks for asking that question hank. I was wondering if anyone put the targa in the trunk.
