Top down at night?

Anybody roll with the top down at night? I do, especially when it's nice. I stay down south, so sometimes it's simply too hot to have the top down during the day. Am I the only weirdo that does this, lol?

I never considered the top a day/night thing. It's about comfortable/uncomfortable.
Top is up when weather/trunk usage dictates it, or maybe when there are things in the cabin that easily fly away with the wind. It's pretty much down, otherwise - day or night - and that sometimes results in sunburn, or needing to dial up the heat.
Side note - I frequently see other convertibles (of all makes/models) on the road with their tops up in *ideal* 'vert conditions, and I can't help but think "You paid extra for the drop-top, in both money and possible leaks/squeaks. WHY do you have it closed up?"

I have the top down every chance I can get day or night. I live in the Chicago area so our season is limited. Just bought the wind deflector from another member so I'm hoping that the highway driving will be a little easier on my wife's hair.

I can't even imagine rolling my windows down in some parts of town

With this heat though, I honestly don't blame you!

Living in Louisiana, I take full advantage of the vented/"cooled" option for my seats. Especially during the day. That black leather gets obscenely hot during the day lol. At night, not so much but it's great to just drop that top and go for a cruise. It's funny to see the reactions on my passengers faces at night when the tops down and it's super clear. They just stare at the stars lol. The convertible was well worth the money.

Me too. Had a really hot summer here (pacific northwest) it was too hot to put it down during the day. Had more fun with it down at night.

If there isn't water falling from the sky, the top is down. Too hot? That's what the air-cooled seats are for.
