Haha, I don't like to wear hats. I sometimes wear a cap if I didn't bother to wash my hair and have to run an errand, that's about it.

To me, I think top down is perfect for city cruising, not at much higher speeds on highways (too noisy/windy and it's constant).

So what’s the priority…. looking cool and only using it for a few days of year or looking slightly less cool but doing 10k miles PA…all with the top down..
I dunno about the cool part, I sometimes feel self-conscious w the top down. For me, I like the top down to hear the car more, the other stuff many ppl find exhilarating (openness, wind in hair, sun bearing down... ) I'm either neutral or don't like.

*fingers crossed* Just gotta do one's best to maintain...which I guess is lubricate, use it often, and eyeball all the wires, tubing, etc.
