99 miles of track-day (Motorsport Ranch Houston) yesterday, each and every lap with the top-down.

All the time. Winter too. No reason not to. RPI and top down is just wonderful each and every time.

If I had one, I would drive with the top down only on a cool night. During the day, I hide behind tinted windows and a tinted windshield with my moon roof sun shield closed. Its just too hot and too many UV rays to enjoy a convertible down here. I see others driving with their tops down and the sun beating down on them. Honestly, don't know how they can stand it.

Well I don't get my garage queen out very often but when I do its always with the top down. My commuter when its not the bike is a c5 convertible and the top is always down unless its raining or below 50 degrees! Heated seats and a wind deflector keeps it a tad warmer all around! I do live in Ca. though and our weather doesn't get extreme..

Everyday to and from work, until rainy season. Only time I smile regarding work.
Hat and long sleeve dress shirt (coming from work) mitigate sun exposure in Florida, duh. Last edited by XXX555; 05-07-2012 at 08:55 PM.. |

Whenever it is 50-90 degrees in Miami and not raining the top is down unless I am coming back from a business meeting in the middle of the day. Love to drive with the top down, especially with the AA exhaust and no traffic.
For earlier question, yes, Homestead allows convertibles and I think Sebring does as well. Do not know of any others. I have tracked my E93 and I loved it on the track; I have appreciated it more since tracking it. |

San Jose, California...... Top is down on any dry day or any temps above ~55 degrees. I blast the front heater and use the seat heater if I need to. It's especially awesome driving at night under the stars. Only issue was a bit of a rattle which the dealer took care of. I love it!

Now that its getting nicer out in NYC I try and drive with the top down daily, but since I work most of the day I like to leave it with my Mother or girl friend so at least some one is enjoying it. Be sure to put on sun screen every day top down or not! Skin cancer is no joke people.

I keep a tube of sun screen (spf 50) and a pouch of wet wipes in the glove box.

I bought the car in Miami and drove it for 10 days there, and now back in Toronto the top goes down 9 AM, comes back up 1 AM!
Loving the weather these days, can't complain! |
