    You know...I did something similar with my RX-8 too. I drove with the sunroof open and the heat on during sunny days in the winter. People always gave me the :eek: look. It felt good though. All I need now is a sunroof in the Taco! :D

    BUILT, not bought...

    my habits are similar to Danny's.

    I like the windows down, just not when I'm on the freeway.

    AC on most of the time. I like to listen to my music and not have to listen to some people talking on their cell phones when I pull up next to them.

    My salesman turned it on the day I picked up the truck during the inspection to see if it worked and it hasn't been on since.

    I generally like windows down even when it's hot - until it gets above 105 or so.
    Here in Phoenix it gets above 110 pretty frequently. AC is pretty much a necessity, although I went through a couple of summers here without it.

    I also tend to roll up the windows on the freeway - I find one of the Taco's few design flaws is that wind blasts you in the side of the head with the windows down.

    Here in KY we've got this nasty little thing called humidity...ooof. :bananadead:

    This time of year = A/C for sure. But once in awhile we'll get a cool evening....then it's windows down and sliding glass open. :D

    During summer days, A/C. Summer nights, spring, and fall windows down. Sometimes during the winter windows down with heat wide open.
