Windows up or down?

headlee103 · 07-15-2010, 07:41 AM

When its a nice day out, would you rather drive with your window up and AC on? Or windows down cruisin with the breeze in your face?

I for one always drive with the windows down... I feel like I enjoy driving more with them down.

I would love them down but to hot down here in SoFl.....I need A/C

BTM · 07-15-2010, 07:53 AM

Down when I can...unfortunately it's been so damn humid lately

headlee103 · 07-15-2010, 08:11 AM

Assuming the temp is like 80-85 I would say that is perfect to have the windows down. When I see people with their windows up, I feel like they are missing out on the real experience!!

I prefer down
but even with vert, I put the A/C to blow on my feet

I hate driving with the window down in traffic though.. sun is always blazing here in the stupid middle east

+1

But because I live in Florida, that means I only have them down in "winter"

windows down as long as the temp is between 75-95. i'm just used to it now.

ZJP · 07-15-2010, 12:16 PM

Humidity = A/C, windows up

Dry heat = windows down, sunroof open

Kensta335 · 07-15-2010, 12:21 PM

Down. A/C slows down my car.

Jbs · 07-15-2010, 12:30 PM

<80 degrees, they are down. >80 they are up for sure :O

Verbiage · 07-15-2010, 12:44 PM

Down makes your wheels look bigger.

East coast humidity is a bitch though, so unfortunately that isn't very often.

This. I try to have them down as much as possible. But I hate sweating when I'm sitting in my car cuz its so damn hot out.

Gotadime · 07-15-2010, 01:59 PM

Down with the A/C blasting. Solid combo.

Technically sunroof open. But when that's not an option, windows down.

SoCali E36 · 07-15-2010, 02:12 PM
