I have to admit, I like driving the MGB with the top up, windows down, back window zipped down. Breeze and some shade, and my wife will ride with me. :grin:

So you won't think I'm totally absorbed with the Bugeye acquisition process, here's a shot from a drive earlier this week.

Back when I had my TR4A (before 1970), I usually drove it with the top up, in part because I drove it year round in Philadelphia weather. Whenever I put the top down, I had to put it up pretty soon afterward, and it was complicated. So, mostly I just left it up. I was perfectly happy that way.
 
Here in Central FL, summertime is top-up, at least during the day. The summer heat will cook you and the daily thunderstorms hit pretty fast.

OTOH, from November thur April is a good time to go topless.
 
I drive with the hard top on in Florida summer. Save the soft one for "winter".
 
First you have to be able to admit a problem before you can address it. Seems like, you've admitted it, now you can seek counseling and soon you will be able to drive with the top down...:chuncky:
