I either have:

1. Top up, windows up, AC on

2. Top up windows down

3. Top down, windows down... I might put the driver's one up if there's a truck near, rocks, talk on the phone, WHATEVER. ... Momentarily... Minutes after, it's window down again.

Funny, when I went for a drive this morning had the top down, was a little chilly so threw the windows up for a few minutes til the sun came out again and it warmed up, and it was perfect, and I thought, geez I hope there are none of those self righteous idiots watching and they're gonna have a bad day now because my windows are up lol.
Anyway, I think it's you're judge everybody attitude that is
Yesterday when Metallica "Holier than thou" came on my stereo, I thought of you dumbasses.

I could see it now...


On the cover of Road and Track...


A fancy new convertible exotic from Europe on the front cover...


Wheels opposite-lock, the body poised in some hight speed drift on a test track...

A stern face on the editor driving wearing black shades, his hair teased by fast winds...

The top down...


The windows up...




Not in a million years!!! I don't judge others... I judge myself and I'd feel like I'd deserve to be in a Chrysler Sebring 'vert if I had the windows up all the time.

Find a sig on here with the wondows up on a 'vert... Nobody judging anyone, why do people have the windows down? Maybe it looks better, overall, for most people? Look at a pic in a magazine... Find one with the windows up...

Nothing wrong with the windows up... But often? Why? Sunroof's and t-tops are cheaper.

Noone is taking your opinion away from you, if you want to drive with your top down and windows up, go right ahead, noone is stopping you. Some people, myself included, think it looks dumb and is pointless, we are not expecting you to say "Oh shucks these guys don't like it so maybe I shouldn't do it." We are just giving opinions, so stop acting like a douchebag and just state your opinion and STFU.

What only you're allowed to be a douchebag?

I might stfu after you, no promises though. I'm just busting these jokers for a waste of an opinion, feel free to join them.

They remind me of the convertible haters and the SS clone haters, I tend to bust on the haters when they show that side, sue me.

We are not busting on you personally, nor degrading your opinion at all. Noone said that Shooter_Jay is stupid because he drives with his windows up. You are turning peoples opinions into a flame war that it doesn't have to be. All you need to say is what you think, not what you think of everyone else that doesn't agree with you. You bust on people personally that never took any personal shots at you.

No I'm just saying that you are getting on people for stating their opinion. You know how we feel, we know how you feel. You call us dumbasses for thinking it looks stupid. That would be like us calling you a dumbass for thinking that it looks good. Noone called you a dumbass, we just disagreed. So if you want to argue your point, argue THE POINT, not how stupid we are for arguing ours. *******.

stating there opinion of something I do a lot this time of year, so I'm calling them a dumbass for it. Get over it, I'll get over it, they'll get over it, it's really not that big a deal if I call somebody a dumbass is it? I hope they're not going to have bad dreams now or something.

guy I think you're the same one from a thread a while back that was pissing everyone off. Like already stated, maybe with little exception, no one is taking personal shots at you, this thread keeps growing because in a figurative sense you keep responding to everyones comments. Is it wrong? No. Is it harmful? No. Is it annoying? yeah actually. Now I know you are going to think of some clever comment and post it, go ahead, but a simple thread on an opinions of other vert owners was all that was originally intended. If you want to be considerate of the other enthusiasts/dumbasses/whatever you want to call us, then please stop griping, we already know where you stand, your opinions have been given, thanks for making this thread more civilized.

Anyway, I know what I've typed here is stupid, just don't know why you guys don't think what you typed here is stupid too, and why people can only type stupid things if they agree with you guys. If you're not mods, and flame me to stfu, you will get some back, not sure why this bothers you so much.
