Default why do you NOT put your top down

im in socal and usually see S2ks with their tops up. this is alien to me as im always top down unless in heavy rain.

why do you not put your top down? wind, cold, lazy, wish the S was a coupe, etc?


if you live some place with freezing temps and bad weather, this doesn't apply to you.

i feel like it's dangerous to drive with the top up, blind spots-wise.

How do you keep thinking of these topics? I don't put it down because I have a hardtop and its always down, the way it should have been from the factory.

Sometimes I'm just not in the mood and don't want the increase in attention that top down brings.

if it's a short drive, just a few minutes, don't want to have the hassle of doing it. Plus paranoid of ripping it. If it's a longer drive, top down.
