Default Top Up Or Down?

Well, after a one day delay, I'll be headed to South Carolina in the S Thursday. It'll take 10-11 hours. What do you think, should I drive top up or top down the whole way?

Where is this top? I thought I lost that when the wife gave away my Escort.

^ Good one, Barry...I voted for top down, but I do find it a bit wearing on long trips, especially if it is hot and most of it is interstate driving, which I hate! Have fun!

Top down, and you can always turn on the AC if it gets too hot/humid.

If you had wanted the top up you would have bought a hard top

A year ago (almost), we drove from Santa Fe to Boca, top down all the way except for an evening thunderstorm in Kansas. I'd do it that way again.

One thing that helps, though, is windows up. HPH

Top down for sure! You may put the windows up to cut down on some of the wind while on the interstate, but that's it!
