Well for what it's worth. . .and I don't know about all you guys and gals
but I'm now 46, been driving my Spitfire almost everyday since 1973 with
the top down (In fact for several of those years I didn't even have it
installed in the car), no hat (except for those cold mornings and yes it
occasionally gets cold here.  This morning it was 29 so I had the jacket,
no not the white one with the funny arms, ear muffs and flannel ear flap
al-la FARGO hat, stylish I know but that's the only time I use one and it
works), no ear plugs, 30 or more miles a trip plus many longer trips
including one to Lander Wyoming and back from San Diego usually with the
radio blaring, and I still hear just as well as I did, still have my hair
(only male in my family that does hummm), and still have that silly grin on
my face after every drive - Hey, maybe the wildly fluctuating wind blowing
hair stimulates those follicles. . .Awww Just a thought. . .
