Longest drive with the top down:

1. Port Huron, Michigan to Omaha, NE (10.5 hours) (BMW M3)
2. San Francisco, CA to San Diego, CA (8 hours) (Corvette 427)
3. San Diego, CA to Las Vegas, NV (~4.5 h) (BMW M3)

10+ hours with the top down????

Back in my S2000 days, "top's down unless the storm outside has a name." If it's sprinkling, just go faster and the wind will blow the rain over the cabin.

When I first bought my E93, I drove it from Denver, CO to Orlando, FL (~23 hour total drive) with the top down the entire time except for when parking overnight.

2013 with 150,000+ miles, so many smiles/mile. Absolutely no regrets.

A few grainy amateur videos, but you get the idea...yes, I love my E93!
