[QUOTE=DeeGee;1568757013]Do you know, I'm now at the point in my life where looks don't matter

I've driven in Vegas with the top down with 126 degrees on the HVAC dial. I've driven in snow in England. Both times the windows are up because it either keeps the heat in or the heat out. I'm more comfortable. BTW I also fitted heated seats and used them in vegas.

If the suns out the roofs down. If I need the windows up, they go up. If it's nice enough to drop the windows they go down.

Its my Vert and I'll enjoy it

Forget image. JMHO
If you don't like it, don't do it. I can carry on a conversation better with them up as well as hear the stereo better. The only person I care to impress is myself.

My pet peeve is people who ask simple questions on the forum that the owners manual would answer if they would just read it!

or believe that their kids can misbehave because "they're kids".

But especially those who think they are entitled to not obey rules and laws because they have kids...

The parking thing...I'll park my car as far away as possible in the corner of a parking lot only to have two cars on either side of mine when I come back. I mean, what the ---- is that anyway...drives me up the wall.
