Who drives with their top down?
Wuts up everybody! Just as the title sugest. Who drives w/ their top down and windows up and if you do, what's your reason?
I tried and noticed a few small differences...
1) A little less wind, but hey, if you got the top down there's gonna be wind
anyways.
2) A little less sound from the sides... but seamed to reduce my alertness .
3) I didn't experience this but maybe some people feel safer?... a little peice of glass protecting them from someone driving an SUV while talking on there phone maybe?...

im always like 
when i see someone driving with their top down and windows up. its like they couldnt make up their mind or something. i disagree with the top down/windows up cruising. its a convertible! so to answer your question, no, i dont drive like this.

I do this occasionally, but only when my wife is in the car, so that (1) we can carry on a conversation more easily with less wind noise, or (2) when she starts to get bothered by her hair whipping around too much (though getting a good visor has helped that).
I don't put the windows up when running top down by myself, though.

i do this ALL the time. to me, it's about being exposed to the open sky, not to the nasty world on the side of us. i pride my car on being extremely calm and quiet inside even with the top down. windows up, headrest pillows, tall windscreen and heated seats makes for a very comfortable, yet engaging experience. when it's really hot out, then windows down.

I think it's for the old people, personally.
= D
The only times I do it is when it's way too cold out, but a pretty day.
I may put it down for a few minutes, turn on the heat full blast, and then put the windows back down when I'm warmed up again.
The only other reason I do it: b/c the lady next to me likes to keep her hair out of her face. = )
