[DeTomaso] I Think I'll Take it Off & Just Run Naked!

[astephens]

Scott,
     I thought I heard that Junior Wilson used to leave his decklid 
unlatched which allowed it to raise up several inches at speed?  I think 
this could give you the cooling you desire without giving up the cool 
factor.  :-))
