I've mentioned a few times that I had only had the top off once and didn't like it. So last weekend, it was just beautiful out, and I figured I'd give it another shot. Took off the top, got moving and hey, what do you know, maybe I was wrong after all. I was loving it.
Then... I got on the freeway and it sucked worse than I remembered. Annoying wind, deafening noise, stinky diesels, the sun made it hard to see half the time. Just unbearable, and I had almost 30 miles to go.
Waste of a perfectly good cruise.

The first two items make the car much nicer at highway speeds with the top off.

I have to brag a little bit about the top thing. In cold months the blue transparent makes it nice and warm. Summer broiler days the solid red is the ticket for shade. Transition weather gets the AFSB, the t-top piece that anchors the flexi-frame. A cordless screwdriver helps accompish change-outs with minimal cursing. That's 3 tops for me; spoiled rotten.
