Some people ask me what's the point of having the top down but windows up but it is obvious for the people who have owned a convertible.

My side windows are tinted (13% visibility) so I'd REALLY look stupid with the windows up and the top down.

I usually see people in Audi TTs with the top down and windows up. The s2k guys (and girls) are tougher.

If you look stupid, I doubt the windows are going to make things any worse.

There's nothing wrong with doing it, and your reason for doing it, ihavenosn16, is perfectly legit.
Now if you have tinted windows, it could look a little odd (if you like things so private, maybe a convertible wasn't the perfect car for you--at least not if you are using the convertible top feature!).

I do... when trying to have a conversation on the phone or with passenger. Also helps with wind at anything above 80mph.
