David---I know you and Frannie always drove with the top down. We always put the convertible top up on the highways then drop it for driving in the event. To me the wind noise and buffeting with the top down is really uncomfortable . We rock along with our top up, our Bose noise cancelling earphones and a good audio book or some good bluegrass. (Me on the bluegrass---Alice is listening to symphony music!) That's how we roll but I completely understand your preference which is shared by many.
