I concur on this 100%.  My best such top-down in bad weather jaunt was in me 
Mog actually (67 4/4) in a pretty heavy summer rain (okay, it *was* about 80 
degrees so my ears didn't frostbite).  But in the Morgan the flat winshield 
is just perfect for wind driving the rain straight up over the top and then 
dripping into my eyes.  Folks kept passing me, thowing odd glances.  It was 
a about 1:1:1 ratio of folks who thought (1)"You're a complete idiot" 
(2)"That look's like fun" and (3)"Why aren't you driving an American car?" 
(nb: this is Deeeetroit).  

So, I say "go for it."  What the hell, you were born wet.
