Default Beautiful Day!

What an awesome day as well as weekend. Drove top down Sunday and spent the day at the park. As well as today, just couldnt resist! But a quick question, when you guys park your cars in a lot with the sun out do you put your top up to prevent the sun from beating on the interior?

When parked, I put the top up to prevent the sun from beating, dang birds from pooping, dust from settling and flying burritos from getting on the interior.

Always park with the top up. That way there are no unexpected surprises in my seat when I get back

Almost aways top up. Only time I leave the S parked with the top down is when it's only going to be for a short time AND I can see the car from where I am.

There's a top on this car!?

I thought that was what the heater was for.

Mostly top up. Unless the car is in my vison and i'm not going to be but a few minutes, top up for sure. Too many things to reach in and take.

Parked under an enormous bunch of trees while playing softball last year. A bird with a problem let loose. The branches were so high above the car, that by the time the poo reached the car, it sort of atomized. There were tiny white specks everywhere.

Now I always park "top up" (except maybe in the garage).

FYI - top down last several days! WooHoo!
