I drive top up on the freeway. It gets pretty noisy at 90+ mph

I love driving top down and do it as often as possible. However, I'm also not the type that likes the attention. I guess I am a little self-conscious (not because I think I'm ugly though ) as I don't really like it when everyone is staring at me/my car, but driving top down is so awesome that it's worth it!

I go top up sometimes in the dead of the afternoon cuz I don't wanna get too dark. I always have a hat or hair tie so my hair doesn't slap me in the face and get all messed up.

I don't buy it. My wife is not shy at all, but she doesn't like the top down unless the weather is just right.

I clearly understand what you mean and I'm the exact same way. If fact, I actually get MORE attention with my top up but they can't see inside my car because I have 15% tint on the side windows. But there is just something about having an open top driving experience and the personal joy supercedes staring bystanders.

But I'm also not stupid, there are some places in the city where I MUST put my top up for security reasons.

BTW, since the day I installed my hardtop, I have not driven topless.
Me neither, and I live in sunny SoCal. Hard top is just plain sexy!
BTW - I'm also ugly as hell; but thankfully the hard top and dark window tint let me cruise in anonymity.

I agree with this. Too many hobos trying to jump in your car or beg for money.

I can't stand giving homeless people money... unless they're crippled.

yeah, I happen to find our cars a test bed of the personality of a girl on a date. When we get in my car and it's not raining, snowing or freezing(day or night), I immediately begin unlatching the roof.

As I begin to toggle the roof button, I then read their expression. If she begins to whine about her hair and being too hot outside, it's a clear sign that she would be high maintenance and it just wouldn't work, better luck next time. If she lights up with glee and rejoyces the removal of the roof, you may have a winnar!
