Top Up -- Really?

It has been so beautiful here that I'm top down all the time.

What I can't fathom is how many convertible owners there are around here who drive with the top up. What's with that? Like yesterday. Upper 70's, not a cloud in the sky, low humidity and 2 out of 3 convertibles on the road have their tops up.

I'm well over 65% when I do the calculation. Percentage should go higher as we enter the dry season and the temps are almost always between 60 and 80. Life is good in the "Sunshine State" -- even if we can't figure out how to count votes.

Exact reason I'm going to get a Coupe and not a Roadster. When we had our convertible, I wanted the top down unless the weather was extreme. My better half almost never wanted it down.... usually because we were going somewhere she didn't want to show up with Convertible Hair or Sweaty Pits.

So yeah.... if you're not going to use it, why buy it?
