Do you drive with the windows down? Why?
>>
cuz im a cool mo fucka and the world needs to see/hear it
>>
>>15413309
Because the air conditioning system on my shitty Lumina is broken.
>>
Because the door is the most comfortable place to rest my elbow while still being able to steer effectively
also no reason to have the windows up if the top is down
>>
>>15413309
no, never.
>>
>>15413309
yes because i grew up with parents that never used the ac or its features in cars
(or never had them.)

unless its cold out fuck that i might crack them a bit though
>>
>>15413309
Fresh air smells nice.
>>
I like the wind.

Even in winter I will have them down and the heater on.

Windows down because I like hearing the wind and the engine
>>
When the car has been sitting in the sun for a while I'll roll down the windows to let the heat out. Then put them back up.

Same here, even tho there's auto climate control and AC. It's just so refreshing, hot air from the vents and then the cool air from the windows. Plus it cools down the engine better.
>>
1. My AC makes weird noises
2. I like the sound of my engine
3. The breeze feels nice
4. Resting my forearm on the door makes me feel like an alpha
5. I have manual windows so I don't feel like rolling them up unless it's raining
6. It creates positive pressure in the cab which keeps dust out
>>
Yes so I can blast out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-PVf0FqCx4 on 100% volume.

Cuz I have an old muscle car that I ripped the ac and smog shit out of

On really nice days I do.
Pro tip: If you roll down your window and the wind is blowing in your face too much, roll down the window of the seat behind you too.
>>
>>15413309
I usually do it when for the hell of it, or when i'm on a rural expressway.
>>
Depends on the humidity, if it's not retardedly hot then I do because I like fresh air otherwise I crank the AC and blast it.

You should try it next time you're in a 4 door. It honestly makes a huge difference, I always ride with two windows down.
>>
Yes.
None of my cars have A/C
>>
No, because

City air is garbage
Less outside noise
Cars has AC

Windows down to hear that turbo whine/dump, obviously.

>>
>>15413309
If I'm on back roads by myself then weather permitting yes, if I'm on the highway or in inner city then no.
>>
Why drive loud car and play loud music? Why just have quiet car and quieter music?
>>
>>15413309
To wave at the hoes and to slap my bros
To blast my tunes and flip off Jews
To gas the kikes and throw shit at bikes
To turn Jews into soap and look dope
>>
>>15413846
I like this
>>
>>15413309
Yes, windows down even now that it's 95 f and 80% humidity. Have the a/c on max and the music bumpin.
What can I say, I'm a colossal faggot.
>>
Because I daily a 69 Nova and It has no AC
>>
>>15413309
So i can hear my dose pipe better
>>
always open, i smoke cigarettes. castrate me
>>
If I'm smoking and/or it's late at night and I'm feelin' the music, then yeah. Otherwise, no, I'm too shy :(
>>
>>15413309

I like to, but the wind buffeting is brutal.
>>
>>15413309
Depends. If I'm driving at higher speeds I'll have them cracked a bit, in heavy traffic I just let them down all the way.
>>
>>15413309
Yes, because no AC
>>
>>15413357
same
i love me some window down action
>>
>>15413323
>also no reason to have the windows up if the top is down
less wind noise at higher speeds
also muh aerodynamics

so i can blast my shitty eurobeat and suicideboys while i pretend im on the touge on my shitty boring highways
>>
>>15413309
>Do you drive with the windows down? Why?
It is 115 during the day and my AC doesn't work

Nothing better than windows down and heater cranked to max on a cold winters day hooking around the mountain pass.

>>15413309
I open them when it's hot outside.
> Why
Cheaper and better than using the AC. The AC is only for high-speed driving that open windows would fuck with, and for very low speeds when there's not enough airflow to cool.
I'd love to hear the engine, but I can't. It's quiet and discreet and soundproofed, so I have to rely on vibrations.
>>
>>15413319
same but i have a ford focus
>>
>>15413309
Not unless it's really hot in the car (no A/C), and even then I won't roll them down all the way. I'd rather be a bit warm than not be able to listen to music.
>>
I line the point where it starts to change direction with the sil, if its not perfect I have to spend time making sure it is

gee i have no idea why would i drive with windows down
>>
Almost never. I have tint for a reason, I don't like people seeing me.
>>
I put all the windows down when I drive as long as its not raining, even in winter since it doesnt really get cold here.
I love the feeling of the open air and wind wooshing everywhere.
>>
>>15413309
yes, or with the sunroof open unless it's too hot. I like being in the open a bit.
>>
Windows "down", elbow out.
Because Land Rover. I have no choice.

Well as my post says, I drive a convertible and the wind noise is stronk so it hardly makes a difference if the windows and top are up. And aero doesn't mean shit if you're going to mention fuel economy as one reason because like I just stated, I get better fuel economy driving windows and top down than windows and top up.

AC broken

i used to ride a car that was on the line of being dead so instead of enjoying i had to pay attention to every little sound it made

>>
>>15416513
There aren't busses in my area. I have a civic.
>>
My AC stopped working
>>
a/c full blast and windows down
>>
>>15413309
Absolutely never. I have auto climate control and it is set to 69-70 deg at all times. Windows are for faggots too poor to drive a car with a/c
>>
>>15413309
Because I need to blow my vape smoke out the window senpai. Cha brah
>>
Only when it's pleasant outside. Not too hot, not too cold. Otherwise, I have climate control on. Fucking hate the smell of diesel fumes.
>>
Yes. I live in Phoenix and my AC doesn't work, so I put my windows down.
>>
>>15413309
cos A/C is for faggots who cant handle wind in their face. so they sacrifice MPG like they big cucks they are...
>>
>>15419590
You only save with the windows down if you're driving slow, like a cuck.
>>
>>15419590
windows open sacrifice way more mpg, friendo
>>
Driving with the windows up disconnects you from your car, and the road. You might as well drive an automatic land barge.

No fucking point.
>>
>>15419616
Then ride a bike, you hippy.
>>
>at stop light
>some fat guy with a beard driving with windows down in a riced up ford focus HAULS ASS right by while blasting running in the 90's

I laughed so hard I snorted. The way the little car just flew past with the music echoing down the street as a faded fat figure with a flowing beard blurred past was fucking hilarious. Was that one of you guys?

I got used to driving cars without a/c and now I just hate driving with the windows up. Even when the weather gets unfriendly I just use the hvac to compensate. Windows down, heat on in the winter and windows down, A/C on in the summer.

Precipitation or extreme temperatures are pretty much all that get me to actually roll them up.

#NOPE mythbusters already proved you are WRONG!
>>
Radio is 2-3db louder IN THE CAR with driver window down passenger window cracked or up
A/c costs me roughly 2mpg and enough horsepower to make my already slow car accelerate even slower so I only use it if its 90f or higher and humid
if the window is not 50% or more down or all the way up it sometimes rattles when going over bumps or on loud bass notes
I also like the outside feeling of having the window down aswell as some wind
>>
>>15413309
My AC only works at full blast and it's actually louder than wind noise at 70mph
>>
it feels stuffy driving with windows up
>>
>>15415228
i'd join you in a second bro.
>>
>>15419740
A/C should be cutting out at WOT so that's not really an issue.

Also

>having your windows at uneven heights

Disgusting.
>>
>>15413309
Usually only in the evening when it's cool enough to do so, because I'll get adequate cooling without having to use the power and mpg-sucking a/c compressor.

Only when I start the car on a hot day and need to get a little bit of airflow. Driving at moderate speeds for 15-30 seconds gets the hotter than outside air out of the car. Close the windows and let the A/C and cooled seats work their magic after that.

This, except it aint broken in my MR2, just out of fluid. Getting it refilled this week
>>
>>15413309
Yes, I use my ac sparingly because when I do loss in power makes smooth shifting more difficult. I never would have thought it would make a noticeable difference but it definitely does.
>>
I do during jams, but in the open road I tend to close them down because I have long faggot hair and it gets in my sight and causes me to miss the apexes
>>
>>15422712
Tie it the fuck back when you drive, then.

I have to even when riding in a car. My long hair has previously reached all the way across the back seat of my friend's Civic Type R to attack another passenger. When that was discovered (I hadn't noticed), I was told to tie it back or walk.
