It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

As much as i enjoy the fresh air and the sound of the exhaust bouncing off the walls, my windows are up about 99% of the time. Two reasons; one I dislike the noisy traffic and two, the sun is nearly always hot here and even with relatively cool days, I cook inside the cab, which means that my A/C is almost never off.

When its cool I drive with the windows half way down and the heat blasting. If its warm and not raining I'll usually take the bike

The windows may be up for me but the vent will be on to keep the fresh air coming in until it gets too warm, then the AC comes on. Less of a wind-blown look that way.

Eric just curious what does the "Hampton Inns" mean in your location?

I roll the windows up when I am going over 50 or so.

I'd be willing to bet that he travels a lot and that Hampton Inn is his home away from home. It's Best Western and Super 8 for me.

Windows are down most of the time unless it is below 30f,but even if I am plowing the window is down and the heat on off or low once on the highway between accounts the windows go up half way.. If it is raining the window is down enough that the rain down not come thru,snow does not bother me.

Patrick, et. al.,

12valve@heart has it right, I spend 120-140 days a year sleeping in hotels and most of the time they're Hampton Inns. Not much of a home away from home, but I am looking for an alternative to high priced, oversold, overbooked lodging. I bought the Dodge/Cummins to pull a travel trailer so I'd have a hotel room/office with me instead of packing and unpacking all the time, making reservations, etc. Haven't made that move yet, though. Anyone got a nice 27-32' toy hauler for sale?

I wish my rig had a sunroof, it would be open most of the time over having the window down. I have a slider in the back window, but everyone I've tried before (2 Fords and a Chevy) brought in dirt and fumes. I've never run with the Dodge open, figured it was like all the rest.

Sounds good ...I was just curious. I hate hotels but have found the Hampton Inn's to be on the more tolerable side of things. The travel trailer idea sounds like a good one!
