Our only car is a convertible. Top down whenever possible if there's no rain or snow falling. The exception is a busy highway because of noise.

My personal vehicle is a motorcycle. I ride as long as there's nothing frozen on the road.

Window down and radio up unless in a city, which is not very often. I don't like AC unless it is very hot.

I'm sure he's taken them, but they keep being deleted from his device by Dark Lord Lucas.

Funny now, not so much when I owned a Triumph!

Driver's window down weather permitting unless my wife is in the car than they have to be up. An occasional fart, though, and I can roll them down until it clears.

I like the window(s) at least partially rolled down, for the fresh air, even on a cold day. On warm summer days, not only do the side windows come down, but my '93 4Runner has the old-style roll down rear window. It's like driving around in an open-air gazebo.

Windows down…

Here in MN - windows down until it's about 70 - then the humidity sucks enough that I prefer AC.

In the spring when the temps start to warm it's wonderful driving with the windows open. It was a sunny 39 on tuesday and I had the window open on the truck (and rear slider window open). I saw quite a few others doing the same.

Not all the time, but when the weather is right there is nothing better than the windows down and stereo cranking.

Kinda both. I like to have a window cracked even if AC is on.

Windows down - Beautiful day, low humidity, driving around town

Windows up - Really hot, really humid, or on the freeway.

On a nice cool breezy day-windows down. Unfortunately down here in Florida, there are not many days like that.

When driving our two labs around, I have to have the back windows of the pickup down, or the windows would be covered with dog slobber. I don't mind washing the truck, but I hate cleaning windows.

Windows down and radio off!! Been this way forever.

One need not roll windows down to get fresh air. Any car can admit fresh air through its vents. When using A/C, don't select "max" as this is the recirculate setting. This also has the benefit of the evaporator not stinking up. Some HVACs default to fresh when a defroster setting is used, and won't allow recirculate mode.

In mild weather I will open the driver's window a little. If a Harley-Davidson is alongside I'll open it all the way so I can hear it better.

Except for the long distance expressway cruising I’m windows down. The Jeep spends the summer without doors.

At work driver’s side window down. At least to a point. Even on midnight shift w/ -20 below and snow blowing around. It will be down a little.

I know it sounds cheesy but, you can hear, smell, and feel the surroundings at work that way.

Windows up and heater/AC blowing you miss a lot.

On my own time in my own vehicles. Driver’s side window open at least a little unless on long highway road trip.

Generally only if one of the dogs is with me, he likes the window open. I was cruising down a highway one day. A big wasp smacked into the drivers side mirror, and bounced into the car and down the front of my shirt. The impact had killed it instantly, but I didn't know that. You can imagine the frantic activity on my part to pull over and tear my shirt off.

Since then I tend to leave the windows up.

When I got my first Crewmax Tundra I thought the back window would just be a gimmick but I love having that window down. Driver's door window down with the back window and the cabin is surprisingly quiet. It's kinda nice to flex at a red light with a Chevy or Ford behind you too.

Not cheesy at all you are 100% correct. I always have the window at least cracked when working.
Especially at night.

Forget the resale value and reliability of the Tundra over the other big 3.
The added cost of a Tundra compared to a similarly equipped Ram, Ford, or Chevy that roll down window is worth EVERY PENNY.
