AIR IN THE HAiR
I thought that I was indifferent to the fact that our new Volvo has a sunroof.
I didn't see me using it much.
But yesterday, I just got this itch to open it and it was great!
Air in my hair.
And it seems to pull the air in the windows, through the car and out the open top.
We try to keep the house and the car open as long and as much as we can. Heat notwithstanding.
Even now with the days in the hundreds, the nights are 80 max. So we open the house in the morning, same with the car.
Great.
One other thing.
A little more disturbing.
The Volvo keeps its headlights on whether it is night or not. It is one of those cars you see that wants you to know it is there. Lights.
This is another of those things that I always scoffed at but now that it is on my car, I have taken a turn in attitude.
I mean, Volvo's thing is safety, right?
So if they think it is safer to keep the lights on then, well, goddammit, we should keep the lights on.
The guy said that we could make an adjustment and turn them off but I don't think we will.
Not only are we driving this car that I always attributed to nerds and school teachers but we are keeping the lights on all the time.
It is a flashy bugger though. Not like the old boxy Volvo at all. That makes up for it.
