Default drive with windows up or down with the top down?

Hey there s2k fans,

Do you guys drive with the windows up or down when the top is down? Just wondering.

Depends. Down most of the time unless it's really windy. I'm a smoker, so I drive with them up when puffing away.

Actually, if you drive with the passanger window up, and drivers window down, you'll have the least wind-- even less than both up. Dunno why, but its true! (Looks weird, I know)-- but give it a try.

Hell, yes. It extends the temperature range for comfortable top-down driving from about 45-90F with the windows down to 30-100+ with them up. It also makes conversation much easier at 70-80 mph.

So -- who's going to keep them down just because some people think it looks a bit silly?

I would drive with them up whenever it was super windy. But since Lips2000 and Wesmaster made fun of me for that, I've had them down the whole time except when I'm lighting a cigarette. Damn peer-pressure. Those guys MAKE me drive fast too. They're the devil I tell ya!!

I drive with the windows up only when I'm on the freeway. The rest of the time, my windows are down.

I got my Stook because I've never had a convertible. I get the full experience of it by always driving with the windows down. I mean... what's the point of getting a convertible without the feeling of the wind in your hair. I love it. My opinion.

I usually drive with the windows down. But on the freeway...sometimes I up the windows up because the woman is complaining about her hair flying all over the place.

When the top is down, so are the windows (unless my cell phone rings). . .

Here in NY/NJ, I'm constantly watching Boxster, Z roadster, Sebring, 911 cabrio owners cruising top down/windows up. . .

Whats the point?!?!?. . I can understand if its cool, but even on perfect days this is common. . .

Personally, when I don't want the top down experience, I drive the Prelude. . .

Go figure. . .
