I go topless whenever and where ever I can! I can run the heater if it's cool, and turn on the air if it' hot! I have one of those cockpit covers to protect the interior when it's parked outside. (like at work) :auto:

It's a pleasure car. It sits in the garage with top off from mid April until November. It sits in the garage with the top off and the windows up and a large towel over the opening.

My feeling is that if you need to have the top on you might want to consider driving your other car....I only drive mine from May until early Sept. Top comes off and stays off and she sleeps in the garage so I don't worry about rain and dust...

If it's not raining and it's over 55 degrees the top is down on the commute home from work...

I live in Cali... many days we ride with the top down

:cool:

All the time. One of the advantages of living in FL. It also helps that I park in a garage at work and can leave the top off during the day.

I take mine off any time I can, like yesterday. I made the mistake of cruising for 2 hours without a hat- I have a nice sunburn around everything but my glasses! This is how my face looks and feels: :mad

I don't very much. The weather in BG goes from too cold to too hot overnight. I'm serious I used my A/C one day and the heater the next morning as I drove to work in the snow.

Also it's typically not worth the 10 minutes worth of effort to remove the top when I've only got a 20 minute ride to work and I'd have to put it right back on when I got there.

Default When do you go topless (65Z01)

I usually remove the top if weather is above 55deg F and not raining; I'll stop and put the top on if rain gets too heavy on the highway.

I like to drive to/from the drag strip with the top off as well as drive around town and take trips that way.
Yep, 65 loves that open air! I am starting to like the top off more and more. In all honesty, it's been off the car since I have owned it less than a dozen times(1996 'til now). It's off right now...I took a ride to see a friend...'bout 80 deg's out and man that feeling of the open air/wind is awesome. :cheers:

Generally, 65 is my cutoff. I have mostly an all highway drive home and below 65 can get cold. Sometimes for really short trips to the store it will stay in, but its out as much as possible and most of the summer it spends in the garage with the top out overnight. :chevy
