What percentage of your top down driving is with the windows up?

 

14

 

Almost none, although there's a portion of my daily commute where there's usually a horrific crosswind, so I'll sometimes put the front driver's-side window up for a few minutes until I'm past it.

 

0. Unless I am talking on the phone. I only do that for JUST the phone call and then down they go

 

That's not zero then, Stacey.

Depending on how much you talk on the phone while driving, that could be anywhere between .000000000000000000000000000000001 and 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999.

 

Got mine wednesday. I've driven top down windows up twice once at night when it was 60 or so and once during a phone call. I can't say enough about Ev's windscreen though I have not lost a hat yet. Top up I drive the first two blocks from the house and the last two blocks back to the house because my wife thinks I'm getting too much sun.

 

Quite a bit actually.....I do alot of Freeway driving, and I have long hair. 65MPH+, top down, windows down, long hair....generally not a good recipe for looking good where ever you arrive.

But when I'm just out running errands, or on a MINI club run, or on those days where surface streets can get me where I want to go....then totally top down, windows down.

 

If you get the Wind Screen, and drive with the windows up, your hair pretty much stays in place...

I don't talk on the phone while driving(unless it's an emergency), and I don't have any hair to mess up.

 

I only go top down/windows up when it's cold, which is about 15% of the time here, and then only in the morning, so about 7-8%.

 

1% - for the same reasons as MINInurse. For whatever reason...I think it's silly looking when I have my (or see other convertibles) with the top down but windows up?

 

Never.
Love the wind in the hair feeling.
Though when I get to work, I look like I placed my finger in a light socket.

POOF

 

Cold air- top down - windows up - heated seats on

 

ZERO...cold air, top down, heated seats on, heater on, suck it up.

Windows up just look plain retarded IMO.

 

+1

 

Maybe 20% of the time - always on the freeways, and more for noise than for wind.

 

Never. I make people suffer for calling me while I am driving.

 

About 1 percent. I use them up when I am going somewhere I need to look human. Then after on the way back, it is windows down and let it blow.

 

yes sir

 

2%
. . . but this may increase as the weather cools.

I prefer the all-down look, but if it's a choice between top-down/windows up or having the top up, I'd rather see cabrios out there with the top-down/windows up.

 

^ Well stated.

 

You're in North Carolina...what's cold to you, 80 degrees?

Real men tough it out...46 degrees yesterday morning, windows down.

 

0 - if the top is down so are the windows, and I just laugh when they tell me at work my hair is messed up

 

0%. I cant hear the phone because I have my music up loud . And I must agree with the others who thinks it isnt the most attractive to have top down and windows up. If it looks like rain, I keep the sunroof open and the windows down

 

The way I look at it, as the temperature starts to drop, windows up is just one option (along with heater, heated seats, leather jacket, gloves, etc.) to get more top down time: I usually put windows up below about 40F (heat is on under about 50). So I would estimate that here in Central Indiana, a good bit of Nov., Dec. and Feb. (January is usually an entirely top up month), I have top down and windows up, so over the course of the year, windows up is probably 20-25%.
