R59 What's on your Openometer?
What's on your Openometer?
Just happened to catch mine at a milestone:

At the average speed on the computer (33mph) and at my 6600 miles that means I've been top-down for almost exactly half of my driving time, not bad since April in a very odd summer weather-wise.
I thought this thing was a worthless gimmick, but I'm obsessed now. I can't wait for the needle to whip back to zero, and the flashing lights every seven hours are hypnotic...

Remarkably similar to my stats. Also an April delivery, 6825 miles at an average mph of 36.8, top down time = 101:16, for a percentage of a bit over 54%.
as of this morning 240:30 and 12500 miles wont even attempt the ratio thing as my math skills are seriously lacking.
hoping to hit 300 before winter sets in!
forgot how wonderful life is in a convertible

Still a worthless gimmick that I wish could be swapped out for a temp gauge.

97:52 Hours with the top down with only 2703 miles. I think I have probably only clocked 2 hours max with the top up. For some reason my Milage/MPH says I have only driven for 96 hours. Fortunately it has barely rained since I got her at the end of July. Granted I have put the heater and seat warmer to good use and discovered if you are going fast enough it doesn't really matter if it is raining.
The weather will change soon enough so I am sure that ratio will reverse sooner than later.

Needless to say, the top is very rarely up.
3936 miles, 33:44 open time, 45.4 ave MPH = 38.9% open. Would probably be higher but my commute generally includes some Thruway driving and I close the top. 80MPH and lots of trucks is no fun with top down!
Openometer
I have 1650 miles at an average spped of about 40 (don't know exactly since I reset it several times) and 28 hrs 45 min. If my math is orrect, that is about 70%. Would have done better if I had the Roadster during the major part of our drought here in the midwest. Recently we have gotten rain and cooler weather so my open time is less.
