the correct answer is..."because you can"!

 

also.. gives you a clear field of fire.

 

Same reason I open my tailgate window when I drive in reverse.....fresh air cures drunk driving...

 

I didn't put mine one time and broke my glass on a tree when I had it leaned way over in a huge rut

 

once you take everything off you can take it on the golf coarse as a golf cart... you didn't know.

 

Thanks everyone for your responses!


I think I'll just leave my windshield alone, then!


All best, and learning his brains out,

It looks like you have your answer, but I'll add one more. About 22 years ago, I had a '65 International Scout (built like a jeep, removable top and doors). I folded down the windshield and took off down the road. I didn't get a quarter mile before stopping and putting it back up. The wind comes at you so hard you need goggles. So, unless your hunting and you keep it in first, don't bother.

 

I found out in Texas it is illegal to drive on the street with no windshield.
Off-road is a different matter.
I was wishing I had put my windshield down this past summer when crawling around Moab. It would have let in some breeze.

 

No such thing as a dumb question? Check mine out.

Could you put your windshield down and wear a helmet around town?

People could definitely see the wave then.

Haha!

 

I'd rather the limited protection of a windshield then the safety of buckling up. Haven't you noticed how zombies love to press their decomposing faces against glass??
