I'm surprised at the number of convertibles, S2ks and others, with the top down while the owner is away (i.e. mall, work, etc).

In this age of identity theft, it really surprises me that people don't always put their top up when they're away from it. I put it up if I'm going to be away from the car. What do you do?

top up, even in the garage, i just assume it keeps the top from having creases?

 

Depends if I go into a store where I cant see my car then ill put the top up but if I could see my car out the window then ill leave it down.

 

The real question is, "Do you like your seats?"

 

if i can turn my head and see it then i leave it top down.

 

As long as I dont have anything important inside, and Im not going to be gone more than an hour tops, Ill leave it down.

 

I usually leave it down if im going to be driving it again right away or if I can see it. But I wouldnt even consider leaving the top down when im away from the car.

Actually last week I saw a porsche parked at walmart with the top down. I was shocked...

 

once the weather cools down a bit, I'm gonna leave it down 24/7.

 

Yeah, that's whack. There's a guy on my street with a Porsche Turbo convertible. He's always in his house, and the car is parked on the side road with the top down. I've also see lots of Mustangs or Boxsters with the top down in shopping mall lots.

 

I leave the top down a lot of the time. As long as the sun wont bake the leather/dash I dont mind.

Of course Irvine is pretty safe.
