Advice for first-time convertible owner?

I purchased my 2000 Box last winter, and immediately put it in storage with my indie awaiting a long to-do list of upgrades and repairs. It now looks like I'll be able to pick up my toy in another week or two. With the weather turning nice here in New England, I found myself daydreaming about driving with the top down.

And then I realized I've never owned a convertible.

I purchased the car in the dead of winter, and although I checked the top to make sure it worked properly, I never had the chance to drive it top down before she went into the shop. When I wrote the check, I made an assumption: this car was such a joy to drive with the top up, it had to be twice the fun with the top down.

So, now I'm wondering if you experienced drop-top drivers have any hints or tips for living the topless life. I have a very short, 20 minute commute to work, so I plan to use my car as a daily driver, as well as PCA events on the weekends.

Since I live and work on the shoreline, I fear I'll be a tempting seagull target....
