Favorite position: Front windows halfway down, forming an even line with the rear windows fully-down. I am anti-A/C. It makes me cough. I rarely use it even on the highway. However, due to necessity I am a defroster/AC junkie in the winter - my windshield fogs up otherwise.

Hey guys, don't knock this post, there is more to rolling down windows than you think.
The problem with only rolling down the front windows is that you get too much wind blowing in to your face. Once you open the back windows you get a better circulation as the air can enter the front and then exit the back. It makes for a more comfortable driving experience. Opening the sunroof helps, but not enough. You really need to atleast crack those back windows.
I'm all about the 5% tint and rolling the windows down about 3 inches in both the front and back (always have to be rolled down equally or it bothers me). Just enough to make people try to peak over and see who is driving.

lol, I guess I'm the odd ball. I keep my windows up most of the time, with careful control on the A/C. I don't know, maybe I like to feel seperated from the outside world.
I'd boom the speakers but former owner didn't get the new stereo set done right, so they've been getting worse and worse... that's something to be done later.

Hell yeah! That's the only way I do it.
I absolutely hate windows up. Extremely boring.

Josh you *are* the oddball. The only reason you don't drive with the windows down is because your A/C doesn't make as big of an impact as mine does on performance. I could tell. I drive with mine down all the way with no A/C. I hate the performance loss, mainly due to my around-town-only driving habits. When on Hiway A/C b on, or in winter. Rainstorms usually don't stop me from rolling with windows down. But then, I live in Central Texas. Doesn't happen much lately.:D

A trick I use at Highway speeds is to Open the Sun Roof to Vent, and roll down the Back Passenger Window. You'll get a nice breeze across your face (Driver), with less noise then all windows down.
I only use A/C when its Hot and Humid, or with multiple people in the car. Its easier to have a conversation with A/C on.

Ok we're getting really granular in our discussions here, but I put my driver's window down 2/3 or all the way, and the back driver's side window all the way down. That seems to blow less than just having the front driver's window down. Also helps to have my left arm on the window sill.
If I just put the driver's window down I get that annoying blast of air diagonally up from the side, and I've got longish hair.

I lower them all the way, ALL OF THEM!  Btw, what's AC? I don't think I ever used it in my life. Windows are there for.. well they're there.  Also, hi everyone. Nice meeting you all.
Use the talents you possess, for the world would be a very silent place if only the best birds sang!
May your life be like toilet paper, long and useful.
