A cool discovery... you guys should try this..

If everyone already knows this I'll feel pretty stupid...
also a tip for you smokers-


if you ever come across light to medium rainy weather, and you're in your car crusing at about 60+ mph, try opening the sunroof. strangely, water doesn't come in. if you got a car in front of you thats kicking up a lotta water, it might be a different story though.

after thinking about car aerodynamics, it makes sense... the air that gets pushed up the front windshield blows horizontally, thereby forcing back all raindrops attempting to come through the sunroof.

interesting isn't it???

i learned my lesson from smoking. considering i smoke less than 5 cigarettes a week, i may just stop...if it weren't for the peer pressure.

I have used this feature for years. One hint though. Don't slam on the brakes....all the water on the roof comes forward...very quickly!
