Up or Down?
 
I don't know if it is due to the winter season bringing me down - or if it was too many Budweisers the other night.... but I got into a conversation, and am interested to hear your opinions:

When driving top down - do you ride with windows up, or windows down?

If you find this post ridiculous, please blame the Budweiser - not me!

Windows Down
 
Otherwise, the people you pass won't hear your great sound system.

If it's 60+ everything is down,60-50 the top is down with the windows up,50-40 the top is still down but window's are up,heather is on and the scarf & beenie are a must,40-30 top is finally put up,so are the windows and the heater is on. :cheers:

Almost every chick I've taken out tried to save her hair while we cruise but it's no use,MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :troll:

*I can't remember the last time I drove the car with the top up,no joke.

Adam 12-08-2006 05:18 PM

Newsflash: It's not cool to ride with the top down and the windows up. :D

unklekraker 12-08-2006 05:22 PM

wifey's hair fix + top down = a 15 min drive feels forever...hehehehehe!

First problem is that you are drinking Budweiser. There are zillions of beers out there to drink, and you really should try to expand your horizons and you'll never drink that piss again.

Drink a good beer and you'll know exactly when to keep the windows up or roll them down. It's akin to staying at a Holiday Inn.

djomlas 12-08-2006 07:24 PM

whatever way u like your windows dont drink and drive, no matter of ur beer prefrences. even though beer in general sux

If i drink to much beer or wine i prefer to drive with the windows down just in case i have to :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:

Kidding aside please don't drink and drive. ;)

Randall - I hear ya on the beer. Believe it or not, I preach the same thing. So here you go my friend.... :

No worry on my beer horizon, cause I am the real deal. Name your beast.... Mirror pond, terminator stout, hammerhead, dead guy ale.......

Christ... whether you're into a lighter love or your digin' the chunky goodness - I've ridin' them all like that "beer pig" of a beauty - she's the 2am winner - that last gal standing at the bar - she's ready and willing - the one your chubby buddy loves....

Try some blue boar, Heine's, pyramid, "rubinators," guinness, sam adams, moose drool, drop top, mack 'n' jacks, your favorite Belgium blend, fat (I call it "flat") tire, red hook, any ESB, or perhaps your into festive drink like the Juble Ale?

You name it - I've drank it. Fact is my friend - whether it's Bud or the ol' banquet coors - the piss beer IS the best "school night" drinkin in volume that won't kill the liver. The "buzz without the hangover" brew. Anyone have my back here?!

Now that I'm off my soap box - you are right. Budweiser sukz. And I agree with DJ - keep your drinkin' at home.

"To the hotel - to the motel - to the holiday inn..... SAY WHAT?! If your b**ch starts actin up.... then you f**k her friend."

Top down.....windows up!

(So I can still talk on the cell :p )

edevlin 12-09-2006 02:37 AM

Around town commuting - top down passenger window up. On the expressway - generally top down with both windows up. Just cruising around town - top down, windows down. A configuration for every occasion :cool:

Grizzly 12-09-2006 09:17 AM

Top down, windows down. Any other way, you look like a girl.

Amen baby!!! I have to show my wife this post since she thinks I'm the only one who refers to Coors light as horse piss. :cheers:

bmussatti 12-09-2006 12:17 PM

With the top down, I have the windows in the up or down position depending on the speed I am traveling and air temp. At highway speeds on a cool day, windows are up. Low speeds aroung town, windows are down.

Chills 12-09-2006 12:30 PM

50 degrees is the magic number for me. When it's 50 I'll ride my Kawasaki and I'll drive my Boxster with the top down. I always drive with the windows down and before the recent snow storm I found the fun in driving with my wind deflector off.

DonaldLL 12-09-2006 02:22 PM

Top down = windows down
 
At first when my girlfriend rode with me she would put her window up so as to not mess up her hair. I guess she got tired of my complaining and explaining :matchup: 'cause now she ties it up and pins it down... we go topless and windowless. Never too cold for anything else in Miami but we have no hills, curves, or open spaces!

Paul 12-09-2006 03:42 PM

Only show offs worry about the brand of beer....

My favorite beers (in order of preference):

Free and cold

Free.

But I usually use it only to chase down my scotch!

Only have the 99 Boxster for 5 weeks, I go with top down windows up for highway driving and windows down for around town.

I have just put the hardtop on for the winter, so we'll see how it goes in the spring.

Allen K. Littlefield 12-10-2006 05:35 PM

First top down ride today
 
Went for first top down ride today here in the northeast. Nice driving over the Kingston/Rheinbeck bridge with the top down. Heater on windows up. When it gets warmer (read spring) it will be top down windows down. Who the hell cares if you are having fun where you windows are set? How about half mast, what does that tell us? Nothing of course. Enjoy your rides more and make rules for others less.

I'm on my second 'vert (First being a Miata), and I've found at highway speeds that top down, passenger side window up is the preferred choice when the temps get down below 45, like tonight.

I'm diggin' the heated seats, cause if it's above freezing, the top is down!
