Only time I would even consider windows up/top down would be on a very, very important phone call(I'm not hands-free yet, therefore breaking the law ). And for those of you that say only on the freeway.... one word.... Liberace!!!

The only bad thing about rollin' top down on the freeway in the cold is having to slow down. That's when the blast of cooler air comes from the backside of your neck. Just gotta suck it up and get back on the gas!

Hell, most of the guys down here probably didn't know that I even knew HOW to let off the throttle!!!

When it was 36 degrees over here, I had to put my top down. First day it was actually "warm." My ears started to freeze so I put up the windows. It helped circulate the heat better. I just had to celebrate the warmest day in months with a great view of the night sky above me

I've done the top down and windows up before, mainly to save my hair since I'm sporting the short spiky look. Driving on the freeway in the S, hitting vtec once or twice and I go from spiky to the I just woke up fuzzy look.

Also, sometimes the passenger request for the windows to be up, and not to be sexist, but 99% of the time its a girl asking that.

I find that raising the windows 3-4 inches provides a dam for air spilling in from the side of the car (from mirror turbulence?) and provides the topless feel as completely as with them down while freezing my ass off.

Of course, with the hardtop, it's kinda hard to get the feel right now. Come April, the h/t goes off and we're back to normal, groaning at the Sebrings and BMWs driven by people who don't want their hair mussed up...
