Default Top Down? Or Up?

I love cruisin with the top down at night with warm weather, nice breeze. but sometimes when its 90 degrees outside and the sun is beating down, it makes me wanna kill myself when i go home and i have sunburns on my shoulders and arms. and i LOVE it when a flock of birds fly by and try to drop one on my head. what about u guys? top up or down?

Sport sunblock SPF30 lets me cruise all day, even if I sweat a little.

Have yet to eat a bug or get splatted on.

Top down, except when 100% highway.

you love it when a flock of birds flys by and tries to drop one on you? that's a bit strange...but anyway...yeah i enjoy cruising with the top down in most situations.

I go by the policy that if you drive fast enough, the poop will be deflected by aerodynamics.

I have to admit, I went top up (AC on high) this weekend, while the temp was bouncing over the 100 degree mark. Sunscreen may prevent sunburn, but it won't keep the brain from baking. Arms, medium rare, please.

Top! What top? Does this car come with a top?

BTW, I'm 67, my car's a daily driver and from April to Oct. the top is NEVER up unless it's a thunderstorm.

Top down from 40 degrees and up. Mind you I have been riding a motorcycle for over a decade so I want to be out in the elements, it keeps me more focused on the drive, and yes, I do put the top up when it is raining, or take the truck. On long distance drives I have been known to put in earplugs to keep the wind noise down.

I suspect my top will be down for the commute home.
