My top stays down most of the spring, summer and fall. I have owned a convertible of some type for 41 years of my driving life. Top stays down on Interstates and all other types of roads. In the winter the top is up and I drive the car for about 50 miles, once a week.

I have only lost one cap in all of those years on the Interstates and that was a time that I passed a car whose driver had pi**ed me off. I turned my head to yell at him and the side draft blew my cap in the road. I learned my lesson that day.

that was you?!

at first i was always afraid of losing my hat, but so far so good. i feel a little "on display" as another poster said, especially when i put the headphones in (interstate driving with the top down is just a little painful with the noise) or when i'm wearing a hoodie (always) and it's flapping around slapping me in the side of the face but it's still too fun to care.
