Convertible drivers - why keep the roof up?
Discussion
Yeah, well, you have opened another can of worms now.
My boat house car pool also has a BBQ. Now, how do I cook, gas or briquettes? The purist in me says charcoal, as briquettes are a bit fancy however gas is more convenient as the gas bottles are not worried about the water where as a bag of charcoal sinks and will need drying out. But to be seen cooking with gas.........

I dare not say a word - whatever I say, someone will take offence and post about how offensive it is and how "oh my GERD...do we HAVE to have this thread every time there's a barbeque?" etc etc...My boat house car pool also has a BBQ.

You'd have thought so, but you can never quite tell with these things.
Out of interest, after 22 pages of discussion do you feel any the wiser as to the answer to your original question?
Actually, yes - there are some fairly interesting replies and reasons. Mixed in with some "if I want to own a convertible but don't like the fresh air, then how dare you even question me having a convertible?!" responses...

The final word?
Had 30 mile trip planned with no wish to pose or please others.
Have Mercedes convertible.
Weather so hot would have been uncomfortable even with a/c on.
Took wife's a/c equipped saloon Juke.
Journey was relaxed & comfortable.
Today bright but cooler, convertible with roof down a joy.

Had a date in Aylesbury on Sunday night. Left the pub just after 11.
At around 10pm, the heavens opened, was absolutely bucketing down.
Went outside to leave, clear skies.
Dropped roof. Connected the blue tooth headunit to the iphone. Searched Youtube for a chilled night time driving playlist.
Then followed an hour and 10 minute topless drive home with the tunes under a starry sky.
Bliss.
