topless drivers

To all of the Spider drivers,when the weather is Ok, how often do you drop the top, 50%,75 % of the time or never ? How about in the fall and early winter.

Thanks,
Edward

 

Dammit.... I thought this thread would be about something else.

20% of the time.

 

I only have had mine for 3 months, but everytime the top goes down.

 

I live just outside London (Wentworth) and I have never used the car with the top up! I've done 800 miles only granted but never with top up. Now winter is coming I'll see what happens. I've driven the coupe and someone's else spider with the top up and you just don't hear that engine well enough!!

 

I have 57000 kms on my car and I have driven in rain with the top down.. Just to stubborn to put it up!! But I would say 70% of the time..

 

If it is sunny, the top is down. If it is cold, the heater goes on. Life's too short to drive with the roof up.

 

In the three months I've had my F430, the top has been down 100% of the time it's been driven. Too hot? Turn on the A/C. Too cold? Turn on the heater and wear something warm. Simple. Oh, ya.. I always use strong sunscreen and a hat.

Gotta love that wind in the face, warm sun, feeling of freedom, and wonderous NOISE as the tach rapidly approaches the redline. Can there be a better sound?

I also have a 2003 Maserati Spyder that I bought new. It has 17K miles on it and I would bet that only about 300 miles have been with the top up. That mechanism to raise and lower the top is bullet proof. I am the acid test.

 

95% of the time its down, 06 f430 spyder with 7k+ miles on it

 

GO TOPLESS . . . until it rains

 

Always topless till it rains unexpectedly.

 

I live in Scotland. Out of the 8000 miles covered, its been up about three times. (Although I always park with it up) I was out 10 days in January, hood down every time but heater on full blast and a decent jacket. (We had more good days in Jan than Aug this year).
Topless is glorious.

 

Same here; that's the only reason why I click the post. Can i get my click back?

And I was all set to tell the story of one time when I was jogging and had a car full of girls pull up next to me, honk, I look over, and WOW!
As they sped off I noticed my pace picked up quite a bit.

 

any pictures of topless passengers?

 

My spider resides in maine. As long as there is no salt and no sand on the roads its topeless. Trying to get my wife to do the same. Will post pics if successful!

 

100%

comes down in the spring and goes back up in the fall

 

+1 LOL.

 

When I had my 360 Spider, 90% of the time the top was down.

 

90% or more. The top is up when it rains or sometimes in the evening when it is cold and I don't feel like dealing with anything. Othewise, top is down.

The only reason I opened this thread

 

100% as long as I'm not caught in the rain. Why drive it with the top up? Don't see the point.

 

99.9% Top-down unles it's raining REALLY really hard! ( or below 28 Deg F)

 

If it is over 70 Degrees, 90% of the time.
