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.

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.

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

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

Kidding aside please don't drink and drive.

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
