Exclamation Is your top down alot?

So today it was sprinkling and raining lightly for a few minutes.....then it cleared but still cloudy. I immediately put my top down Top was down all day earliar. I pass by many converts on my cruise and there tops are still down. This a pattern I've been noticing. People don't really use there tops unless its perfect outside...

For me, my top is down whenever its not snowing or pouring down crazy rain. Seriously, it will be light raining top is still down, 40 degrees outside top is down, cloudy day top is still down.... I occasionaly see a miata driver who does this also but all those mustangs, most miatas, VWs, eclipse, jags etc none of those owners ever have there top down unless its perfect.....

Maybe I'm crazy but anyone else like this? I luv the convert feature, my next car will be a convert I can't go back!!!!!! Seriously if I had to get something to haul stuff in it would be a Jeep since its still kind of top down. I have my top down whenever I get the chance

Some people avoid the sun in the middle of the day, some people don't want to muss their hair, and some people have manual tops and don't want to bother with the top - this is one of the things I love about the S's top - up and down with a switch, anytime I want.

I usually only put my top down if the weather is between 55-80. Unless I am at the beach, then the top has to be down reguardless. Any other time I have the HT on and the AC blowing.

I always love to have my top down, except my my girlfriend is riding with me cuz it messes up her hair, or when its like 113 degrees and its just to hott for the top down, so I have to ac it. I dont even care about the sun, cuz if its like 80 degrees its nice when its over 100 its like a damn heat gun and a hair dryer blowing on you at the sametime

I love the top down most of the time. I just put a hair band on to keep my hair out of my eyes, Bruce, my husband bought a skull cap at Harley that fits to his head like a sock, made out of spandex. It keeps the sun off his bald, shaved head and looks good too! Night riding is best and sunny rides through the mountains are wonderful.

I keep the top down until I start getting headaches from heat exhaustion. I'll keep the top down even in 100 degree, muggy southeasrtern weather. Until my shift gets soaked all the way through in the back. I don't care. skin cancer? what's that?

I guess it's just a preferrence thing, but if I can somehow bear the weather, the top is down!

Top down most of the time for me unless like in traffic on the freeways in summer time. Leather seats + lots o' heat = super sweaty. Not a good combo.
Otherwise its always the passenger who'll complain.
