Default Top down... Windows up???

Am I off base here, or does it look dorky when you see people riding around with the top down, but the windows up??

Chrysler Sebrings and Z3/Z4's are the biggest culprits...

Top down, windows up, big thick fur hat on, heater cranked, gloves on.
Ahhhh, what a wondeful way to drive on a cold night or a cold day.

The only other time I do it is when I'm on the expressway and I don't want to put the top up. With the windows up a 2+ hour drive is way more comfortable.

This does not look "dorky." In a good car mag's review of the new Z4, they found wind problems to be less if the passenger side window (only) were left up. I tried it on the s2k, and it worked on it also. I do this when I want the top down and part of my trip is high speed and part is urban, and it's not very warm out. What am I then ---- a 1/2 dork?

Thanks,
Richard

i put the windows up if i'm gonna be on the highway, totally gets rid of the crosswinds, i'm not a wuss or anything, but sometimes a strong one can really punch you in the eye
