I only leave it down if its a quick stop... but most of the time its because I can see my car from where I am at with my SUperman Vision

I leave it down because I want to. Birds have shit in my car three times already (and all three times I wasn't even under a tree!), causing a permanent stain (fade mark) on the passenger seat, but it's not gonna change anything. Hell, I even park it in the garage with the top down.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've put the top up in the past 4 months. If it's too cold or wet, I'll take something else.

Damn Houston weather is so unpredictable though... Yesterday morning it was 47

During the summer months my top only goes up to wash it. At work I throw an interior cover on it and at night it goes in a carport.
