Even though my normal driving attire this summer has been a pair of 4 - 5" inseam shorts and nothing else, I am still feeling confined and overdressed, Guess it's time to get up the courage to drive nude.
A friend and I will be driving from Ft Lauderdale to Key West next month. We will leave my place with shorts and shoes, nothing else. We have both vowed that once we hit the highway, the shorts come off and we will make most of the trip nude. I did the Ft Lauderdale to Key West trip about 15 years ago in a Mustang convertible with the top down. That included going through a toll booth around 4am. The woman at the booth took forever to count my change and as I was leaving said "Thank You for making my night" Of course that was before everyone had a smartphone.Last August I drove from Fort Lauderdale to Buffalo, NY nude most of the way including one nude gas stop at 1AM at a gas station just north of the GA - SC border. There was a convenience store that was closed but the gas pump was open so I gassed up the car and cleaned the windshield totally nude. That place will be a regular gas stop at night for future trips Every rest stop was made in a pair of mesh running shorts and no shirt. I did 1 stop in PA but I don't recall any shirts and shoes required . It would be fun to go in there wearing shoes and a shirt and nothing else but would probably get arrested.
I know the Key West trip didn't work out last year.
Will you try to take a one pair of shorts only trip at some point in the future?
Much of my driving this summer has been in short shorts and nothing elseStill feeling confined and overdressed.I guess next summer I should take the plunge and drive nude.
I did a little driving nude last summer and enjoyed it.
Didn't do more because I like to have the top down on my convertible and still prefer top down to shorts off and not bold enough to drive nude with the top down.
Hope you can get your roof sorted, they seem very complex. I looked at a Focus CC before the family suggested a Miata. Less practical as a small two-seater but such a simple roof mechanism (manual - can be done from the driver's seat once you've developed the muscles) compared to an automated coupe-convertible. The Focus I inspected was perfect mechanically but I wondered how it would last in the longer term and the weight killed the performance. The Miata is near the best around for driving smiles per dollar.
I still see a number of coupe-convertibles around despite the fad being over but rarely with the roof down, even in perfect topless weather. My rule of thumb is a threshold of 10C/50F for roof-down driving unless the weather's wet.
