The Open Road

I am pleasantly surprised to notice the number of cars out on the road with their windows rolled down, almost ten per cent by my rough estimate. Considering it's 78F before sunrise and 95F or more after and 90+ humidity all day. And it's not just older vehicles, either (although even the oldest cars have air-conditioning down here). Several were newer SUVs.

Are there that many Floridians concerned about the mileage differential? Or Freon (sorry, tetrafluoroethane) usage? Or are they just the real natives who don't notice the heat/humidity and enjoy the wind in their faces?
