The fresh air intake gets closed, which I'm assuming is why I hear the wind noise. I've planned to tape over the air vents in the front of my Aspire for this very reason.

I guess you left before they put the Lake in Lakeview? They are widening the HPL, I wanna take my gf and some other new in town folks over it so they can experience 2-9' lanes and no shoulder, steep grade, with a curve near the bottom.

Yep. We left in 1995, back to Gainesville Area. I had my own business that was region agnostic, and the spousal unit wanted to go back to school. I was born/raised in Bossier and went to LSU through graduate school. One of my childhood nightmares was about that stinkin' bridge. I've made many a trip over HPL since. I miss the town and lifestyle, but not the traffic or routes.
