Windows up? Windows down?

rmorrow · 07-09-2010, 06:20 PM

Oh boy...MUCH TOO HOT in Houston. Mid to upper 90's and high humidity from about mid-April through September. Almost always windows up with A/C. Windows down for short periods in early spring or late fall.

Ok I lied my windows are up right before and after I commence a drive by shooting.

PapoZalsa · 07-09-2010, 09:18 PM

99.9% of the time I drive with my windows up.

ryann.mendoza · 07-10-2010, 03:37 PM

windows up. a/c set on auto all the time.

sonic370 · 07-10-2010, 07:20 PM

windows up set to auto. if its under 75 they come down.
i commute to work so at 80mph you need windows up
if you still have hair.

Windows down until I got to el paso. But with this heat I keep them up

fairladyZ34 · 07-10-2010, 01:02 AM

both sides half up, i like a little breeze but i feel that our cabin is small and theres a lot of wind turbulence and noise

I drive with my windows down 90% of the time.

only up when raining, cold or at night.

Heat and humidity is brutal here. Up from May - October. Down during winter.

Jeffblue · 07-10-2010, 10:38 AM

mine are up with AC/heat unless its below 80 or above 50. I know there are some people out there that refuse to use AC in their cars, even when it is too hot for windows, but still won't use it, can someone enlighten me? My mom went somewhere with a friend the other day and they had like an 80k Jaguar and wouldn't use the AC and it was 100 degrees out, so it can't be a money/save gas mileage thing.

They were proably raised without it and figure they don't need it.

Windows down most of the time. I like the bit of breeze that comes in. As far as tire and road noise, there's not much difference whether the windows are up or down. But, I love listening to the exhaust note with the windows down.

gatorfast · 07-10-2010, 11:46 AM

Drove with them down a lot when I was a teen. Now they are virtually always up unless im cruising along the beach or something. Just way too hot out to drive with them down.

kenchan · 07-10-2010, 12:04 PM

usually window down unless it's pollen season or hot outside and i roll it partially up...
