Re: [T3] Hot weather driving


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Moving air DOES have cooling properties. The moving air helps evaporate the
sweat, which provides the cooling. Otherwise, fans would be worthless.

Trouble is, if the temp gets too hot the air coming from the wing windows
isn't worth it, like using a hair drier on HOT during the summer to keep
yourself cool.  Yeah, it's blowing air but it doesn't have any cooling
properties!  Drove across Idaho/Utah/Wyoming/Colorado as well as Arizona/New
Mexico/Texas during heat spells and for me it was best to keep them closed
(and ragtop closed to keep the sun out).--
