Default open air time

Over the summer, how often did you have the T-tops off? (Or convertable top down?)

I'd estimate my T-tops were in the living room for 90% of the time. In August, the only time I put them on was to wash the car. :cool: It was a good summer. Only 5 days with rain in July/Aug, which is unusual here on the wetcoast.

I probably ran half of the 6K miles this summer with the tops off. But I've got A/C and it's been a real wet summer here. I keep the tops in the car so I can pop them on if I want to stop somewhere and lock it up.

I have driven with my t-tops on twice in the last 10 years. And the real question is: Given that, why do I have three sets of tops ;) ?
