Why do people ride around with their windows down when it's raining?

I witnessed a guy driving down the road with all of his windows rolled down. Wouldn't think anything of it except that it's been raining here all day.

This is not the first time I have noticed this and I always wonder why.

I have also noticed that the person is almost always African American.

What is the deal here?

Looking forward to receiving the impending wisdom from the OT

Because cigarettes are addictive.

I doubt you'd melt.







You might float though.

You ever ride around south Louisiana in the summer in a car with no a/c with the windows rolled up?

No AC.

Had a dude that worked for me years ago and his wiper motor went out so he had a coat hanger tied to the windshield wiper and run inside the window. He would pull it every now and then during the rain.

My paid for POS doesn't have air conditioning so if you were to ever pass me when it was above 80 and raining I will probably have my windows down:)

At first, I thought it could be that there was no A/C

BUT it was a brand new car, didn't even have his plate yet

Perhaps the windows no longer go up.

Doesn't have to be brand new to not have a plate. Lot of people with down windows don't have plates.

AC removes the humidity from the air.
Without it, windows fog quickly in the rain.

Well some of ya'll here know how my old man was with car windows when I was growing up.

"Roll up the god damn window son. You're letting all the smoke out."

Most of the said people doing this kind of non-sense are usually driving a challenger or Sebring. I"ll let you draw your own conclusions as to what kind of folks they might be.
