I just don't understand having the "top up" when the car is a convertable.

29 degrees at The Dragon - top down. Generally if it is over 50, the top goes down.

The thing I like the most of having the top down aside from hearing the engine more and the whole ''go kart thing'' is NO BLIND SPOTS!

When I change lanes I love to see nothing but the road when I look over my shoulder.

My top only goes down when it's below 10 degrees C or if it rains a lot. I did say, ''a lot''

I'm top up 90% of the time.

1. Less drag/better aerodynamics/no top end restriction (ya, I live my life 1/4 mile at a time)
2. Hair issues

BTW, ImMisterJimmy, love that quote in ur sig.

With the top down the interior gets dusty too fast. Since getting a hardtop its stayed clean, so the hardtop will stay on, plus I like the look of the "coupe".

I always drool over hardtop, if only my S wasn't a convertible...
Top always up.
