Jamie, but when they yell out at me and pull their tops up... well, I just gotsta look!

Karl, I'll give that a try tomorrow. Great idea.

casaleenie; nope, not legal here.

Tinker, yup, I've got the wings and visors too. I think it has something to do with where I end up sitting in my car, I'm fairly tall at 6'4". Interestingly, my wife noted that when she drove the car (seat all the way forward and with a throw pillow between her back and the seat) that she wasn't getting any wind.

I'm pretty sure it's not the wind itself but the changes in pressure as the air rushes through. Heck, it might even be a decrease in pressure in the cockpit as the wind rushes over the windshield. I just might hook up a couple of pressure sensors and see what's going on (ok, yes, I am a nerd).

And of course... it could just be that I've just got to get used to driving a convertable.
