I call people that live in florida and think that the weather is ever not "top down" gay. If driving on the highway i see no problem putting the windows up to make the ride more enjoyable.

It's not nice to cross the Corvette Gods!

Frankly, what others think is inconsequential. I've put the top down and the widows up many times. Usually it's a beautiful day temperature somewhere in the 40's and I want to see the sky. You don't like it? Look somewhere else.

Default Wow...really?

I can't believe some of these responses. WTF do u care if someone has their top down windows up?

I bought my vette because it's a 'vert (and of course a vette). I love cruising with the top and windows down. But sometimes it starts getting a little cold at 65 mph- so up go the windows. Sometimes I want to answer my phone and have the caller hear me so up go the windows. Sometimes I want to have a brief chat with my woman- so, you guessed it- up go the windows.

Do any of you have cars with sun or moon roofs? I equate it to opening the roof mounted window. It's still nice to have fresh (hopefully) air flowing over our heads.

So again- WTF do u care? Get on with your ride- enjoy your car- enjoy your life. We are all dying anyways so act accordingly.

I sinned again. Went out today with an OAT of 38 degrees.

I put the top down, put the seat heaters on and PUT THE WINDOWS UP!

I got three waves from non Corvette owners and they were all ladies. Hallelujah I'm not gay
