Default Windows up or down when the top's down?

Do you keep your windows down when the top's down, keep them up, or does it depend on other conditions (speed, weather, and so on)?

For me it depends on the temps. If it is 90F like yesterday, even on the freeway I have them down. If it is cooler, I do raise them to be able to have the top down.

The windows are down most of the time. I only put them up on the really cool days.

DOWN!!! I mean, what's the point of having a convertible if you have to drive with the windows up and the top down. If it's too cool, switch on that great heater.

I wasn't _that_ cold
This car has a great heater and the way the heat is directed to your hands on the steering wheel is great. Everything is great except for the cold tires.

It's a little easier to do those 360s when the tires are cold!

I only put the windows up on the freeway, when tere is no traffic. If I'm just sitting in traffic, then the windows are down.
