Default Do you have a very brown right arm

It's that time of year where I see a lot of regular drivers around with really dark tans on thier right arms and quite light left arms

(obviously in LHD countries this is reversed - they have a tanned left leg)

Has this happened to you yet? Do you drive with your arm out of the window?

Do you hug the roof, the door or just rest it on the window?

Don't even open the windows to be honest. Have to at times in the Seat as it has no A/C but even so the dashboard ventilation is quite effective.

this is proving a bit of a challenge, luckily the Mondeo is auto so i can put my left leg out of the window - problem is that i am a bit 'wedge' shaped so somewhat uncomfortable to drive and get a tan on my left leg. Now my left arm, thats another matter - but its still white as its too hot to have the windows open.

I'm so unbalanced I have to brace myself in the direct sunlight for fear of spinning like a solar motor.

Or I need to purchase a euro model with RH drive. Or maybe I'm just destined to be unbalanced..that would explain all those voices in my head.

You talking about me
