Does anyone not put their top down?

i really like having the hardtop on. i think the car looks better with it on over how it looks with the soft top up or when the soft top is down. i do drive with the top off but it is not as much as i use to.

My top is down unless it's raining, or the temperature is so low that top operation would possibly crack the rear window. I put the top down so much that my clear vinyl is starting to suffer a little, even with all the Plexus treatments, Meguiars scratch removers, etc. I need a roof well mat. Sorry, now I'm just rambling...

My top's down 99% of the time. I'd say the only time it's up is if it's raining or looks like it's going to rain in the immediate future.

I'm a neat-freak, so dust bothers me - alot! I've found that by keeping one of those Swiffer cleaners (just the regular one that you'd normally put on the bottom of the Swiffer mop) in the glove box, I can bust that puppy out & wipe down the dash (or anything else) if I notice it being too bad. You'll see me do this when stopped at traffic lights.

Oh - did you "enthusiasts" know that you can put in your car's VIN so that it shows you as an "owner"?

you purchased the car to enjoy it, so i say enjoy it...all these reservations about getting the car dirty will go away after a few rock chips and door dings

Well, I love having the top down but when it's really hot I'll have the a/c on (black leather scorches).

My plastic rear window is really starting to wear because I have the top down so much...no amount of plexus or meguiers can keep it perfect. Oh well
