Evo /w windows down

Well it's warm here now and that means the windows finally get to go down. Only problem is that it's not really enjoyable with the Evo to drive with the windows down. The air seems to be directly right at my face, always, to the point where my sunglasses feel like they might fly off one of these days. I guess I'm used to my old Sunfire coupe and S10. Am I crazy or does anyone else notice this?

I only notice this when only the front windows are down. If they are all open its better

i dont remember that last time i used my AC or heater... i always keep my windows down, but if i keep the fronts down it sucks the air hits me and sounds so bad, but if you roll the backs down 3/4 -1/2 way then its perfect

Alright, I'll have to roll down the backs next time. It was about 90 the other day but back in the 60's now I'll test later. I thought maybe I was turning into an old geezer who didn't like the windows down anymore during my mid 20's...

I'm not an A/C person at all. Only on the way to work will I use it or if it's 90+ and I'm stuck in crawling traffic.

I love driving around with all 4 windows open so I hear my exhaust (since I have no radio) - when I go fast enough the rear center armrest pops out.

I always say "i must have been going fast because the armrest poped down" lol

you have to roll the back windows down like halfway and it'll take care of that..

as for a/c, the only time i run it is when i get off a highway. 0% throttle, injector duty cuts completely and i'm using zero gas. push that a/c button and coast in gear to the light until i have to push the clutch in...then i turn the a/c off again.

call me cheap but it's free a/c

I always have my windows down, or at least my front drivers window down. I hate using the AC.... it makes taking off from a stop a PITA! Practically zero throttle response below 2k rpms with the AC on! Plus the fresh air is much nicer.
