Question for Convertible owners - wtf
 
The weather has been wonderful this year.. almost no winter, sunny, warm, just wonderful. I see many folks driving around on motorcycles and in their convertible cars..... WITH THE TOP UP..!!!!

What is it with people who have convertibles and never put the top down?

Or

Why do people drive around with the top down and all the windows up?

Why own the vehicle then?

I just don't get it...

Top down and windows up is to block the wind from the passenger compartment which can cause various issues such as ear infections from a cold wind and so on.

I owned a convert 10 years ago and had the top down twice in 2 years. Reason is the friggen heat in Windsor. I will never own a vert again. Out here the warm season is to short. I almost bought a vert 500 but my wife reminded me of a few issues so bought the coupe. I love the roof line more as well.

My top is in perfect shape, it's never up unless I get caught in the rain, or in the case of this year, snow on May the 9th.

I only put it down when the wife is in the car. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought a vert.

If on the way to an outing with my wife the top will be up most times - the wind messes up her hair. On the way back the top's down.

Sometimes she'll put the windows up if we're driving on the highway to keep the breeze down. It bothers her ears.

I'll keep the top up if I'm on a short trip and going to keep it parked for a while for security reasons. Otherwised I love driving with the top down. That's why I got it!
