Message	I lived in the Orlando area for 11 months. During that time I ONLY drove the car during the winter months. Between the sudden summer downpours and the ungodly amounts of humidity, driving a rwd turbo convertible in the summer down there was about the worst idea ever. When I lived in Syracuse, NY, the car had to be put away for about 6 months, which sucked. In NJ (with the Z and eventually the Miata), you put it away for 3-4 months, but that's just as long as having it stored in Florida summers.
