Default Are you scared to put your top down?

I know this has been all over the news, but I'm wondering for those affected if you even put your top down? I am talking about S2k's in the Washington D.C./Virignia/Beltline area.... I can't imagine the fear I'd go through day-to-day, but you people are in my prayers.

So do you put the top down? Or keep it up?? And what are your reasons for doing either??

Well, I am a little south of all the shootings, but I go to Richmond/DC. For me, top down, weather permitting. But, have been picky about what gas station to use. Face it, this guy or these guys can and do strike anywhere. Thanks for your concern....this is the second message wishing us in the north a safe drive....very cool.

Top down morning, noon and night until the thermometer hits freezing. I'll be damned if I change my life to suit this idiot's twisted fantasies.

When they "catch" this bastard my hope is that there is no need for a trial. Threatening children now? This guy needs to be taken out in the most painful way possible. I live all the way across the country, but I tell you I hate turning the news on in the morning. Sickening. Our thoughts are with you folks.

It certainly has been a bit unnerving but that being said I still put my top down. I don't want to miss out on some nice weather with the top up and have to consider the fact that my chances of being shot are extremely small.

I do still think twice when going out though and getting gas just isn't the same anymore. I can only guess that having kids would make this 100x worse.

Top down of course!! Screw the damn sniper...if he hits me, there will be ALOT of S2000 owners PISSED. I know you all will hunt him down...I hope.... But in all seriousness....this guy is a psycho and not going top down means he wins... THAT. I will not alter my life for a basketcase.
