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

[adin at frontier.net]

Yeah, way cool.  Like walking around w/ your zipper down.

BUT, there is something to be learned - there is obviously (yes, i  
have my amateur aerodynamicist badge) more pressure UNDER the lid than  
above.  It needs to get out!

As far as Junior goes, if your car goes "f---in' 260" then you can  
leave your zipper down.

(singing) oh, the wind blows me free . . . .
