Summer's really over!
 
With snow in the forecast and temps in the last few weeks I decided I finally had to put the top on for the winter. Bummer.

I forgot how loud the exhaust is with the top on, too.

Oh, well, at least I have next spring to look forward to.

I'm with ya! Put my softtop on this week too. Now there are some new noises that I can't identify...I like it better with the top off where I can't hear them ;)
However, yesterday took a Sunday afternoon drive to Little Mountain & down the Natchez Trace to French Camp. The leaves changing are beautiful!

I know exactly what you mean. I was thinking on my drive home from work today that I didn't remember the creaks and rattles being so loud.

I bought my Blazer in the spring and took the top off the day I got it. My plan is to leave it off all winter and bundle up on sunny days and snow days (if we get any). We'll see if I can make it.

That might work in Georgia. In Utah, not so well. Scraping a foot of snow off the seat before you start the truck tends to take you out of the Blazer mood.

This past Tuesday for me - soft top got stored for winter and hard top was put back into action. The hard top is much more enjoyable in the winter.
