Do you drive with the windows down?

[CRXican]

as long as I'm not on the freeway

 

[PeeluckyDuckee]

I prefer windows and sunroof open on a nice not too hot day. On the highway i'd still leave it open up to 80-90/km. I do try to make use of the ac as well whenever i am not under heavy load as the puny inline 4 engine gets a noticeable performance hit with it on.

 

[sleep]

only when my music is blasting i have them down.

 

[BornStar]

I only drive with the windows down in the spring and fall and then only when the temperature is in the 60s. It's too hot or too cold to not use the air conditioning or heat most of the year.

 

[Aikouka]

I voted no, but technically I do put them down randomly when I first start my car. I don't understand why Nissan did it, but my climate control doesn't realize that the air conditioning isn't ready yet and it still blows like crazy to try and cool the car down. So yeah, all it does is blow a ton of hot air right at me. :\

 

[H54]

All the time, I hate AC.

 

[Tristicus]

In town yes, but not on the highway

This, unless my top is down.

 

[Kaervak]

If it's not too horribly hot outside I'll drive with them down. I absolutely refuse to drive with the windows down on the freeway though, I'm quite fond of not being deaf.

Sometimes I drive with the windows down and the A/C on. I like to position the A/C vents so it blows into my shirt sleeves to cool my arm pits and under my flabs of fat.

Beat that, blower-equipped seats.

 

[power_hour]

Most of the time, tho I miss not having a sunroof on my new wheels

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Never. AC all the time. Sunroof's just for the view (and occasional mobile sun tan).

You know, I'm the Egg Man"

If the temp is around 70°F, or the sun is down and below 80°F, then sometimes. In heavier traffic, I prefer not to smell cigarette smoke (and I almost always do), so they often go right back up. Ick. Never when above 45 mph, there's too much of the "waffling" sound.

I do enjoy the fresh air, so it sucks that I'm so picky.

 

[Mike Gayner]

Almost never.

 

[Josh]

I'll give you more to laugh at - the car is black too.

Yeah, it's like sitting in an oven on a summer afternoon.

I got black on black as well...it does get f'ing HOT in that baby. I'm thankful my AC works very well though.

I love windows down, and music up (not too loud) when its nice outside. When it's like it has been for the past week...strictly AC. Even a minute or two getting gas with the car off and windows down is unbearable...or I just ride my motorcycle

 

[DivideBYZero]

If I want to listen to the exhaust/engine in full song, windows down. When on the highway the windows go up due to road and wind noise.

 

[exar333]

If it's cooler than 90 and I am not on the interstate, then definitely. Love cruising with the windows down...

 

[hanoverphist]

usually windows down here. only time i really use the A/C is when i have wussy guests traveling with me, or my daughter gets a wild hair that the wind is going to rip her skin off. shes a little princess sometimes.

sometimes ill roll the windows down and leave the A/C on as well. no real good reason.

 

[H54]

Its unbelievable that so many people NEVER roll their windows down.

 

[Eos]

Its unbelievable that so many people NEVER roll their windows down.

Yeah, who knew personal preference would actually apply to things.

 

[Rifter]

Yup, if not one of the door windows the defiantly the Slider, unless its raining.

 

[RKS]

All the time unless it freezing, raining, or (like currently) 100 degrees.

 

[Drako]

A lot, and with the top down as well if I'm in my convertible

 

[jtvang125]

What's with all the people who think they're so cool because they're rolling on giant chrome wheels with all the windows down even when it's 100 outside?

 

[mike2fix]

Never, I have climate control for a reason.

 

[LordMorpheus]

When I lived in Houston, I used the AC pretty heavily. In Upstate New York, it's windows down for the fall, spring, and almost all of the summer (except when you have record highs like yesterday ... ).

Need those suckers up in the winter, though.
