___________________________  WINDOWS 69

!

Your flat, near-vertical rear window probably won't catch mud balls, but it certainly adds a curve to the airflow. Airflow at the rear of a flat back-windowed SUV sets up things called eddy currents. These illogical little dust devils move dirt forward. The same goes for pickup trucks with camper shells. An open pass-through or rear window assures you of a dusty dash at day's end. Keep those windows closed in all but the best of conditions.

I travel with my windows down much of the time. I like the smell and feel of the outdoors. But I never hesitate to hoist the shields when needed.
