A quick P.S. to further lighten up the un-civil war: I have a question for you all.

When you do choose to be driving w your windows down at any level or speed, do you exactly equalize windlevels, or do you mostly attend to only the driver's side?

Here's a weird one: You are going down the interstate, you don't have AC or manual vents , or vent windows; no slider either; and it is pretty warm out. You can tell by watching wheat fields that the wind is blowing toward you at a 45degree from your right.

Would you most likely have both windows all the way down?

Equalized at some other level?

Mostly right side down for big entry, left side barely down as exhaust?

Right side down only, want to relish the blast like a hog in a tornado?
(do you have any idea how much fun I'm having here?)

Are any of the above habits drastically changed when other people, and or family is with you?

In all seriousness; being single, driving 99% of time alone; its been my habit for a long time to equalize both windows at any level. Its sort of a MR. MONK (tv charactor) thing I can't seem to shake... I feel like because of the forward motion, the air pressure should be as equal all around the car for happy airflow!

As of yet, I haven't altered for side winds because: A- I don't live in an area where I ever see side winds much....B- when on a trip where it does that, I hadn't thought of altering windows for side winds until now... will I be able to sleep tonight wondering how much difference it might make??????

Laugh if you like; but in my CRX w no vent windows, no slider, I love my from behind 2 speed fan w up to 4" max equal drop of both windows!
