> [@dawn](#): > > having no ac, my arm is out the window 24/7. arm down, hand up. every style. gotta angle it right to get the wind to blow into my shirt too. i don’t care if it’s cool or lame, i need some air flow. This. Especially when you first hit the highway, that arm pulls air into your shirt like nobody’s business. Best. ---

I just started paying attention to how much I stick my arm out the window, all the time, it’s like an impulse; however, I don’t make a fist. ---

I have to keep my arm out of the window. Otherwise there isn’t enough room to sit, so i have to steer with the left and lean towards the center and keep the other hand on the shifter like a G. However what sucks is that my arm is basically parallel with the ground and it’s super awkward to hold for extended periods of time. So i have to switch to the pillar grab. But i don’t have a top so it’s cooler. ---

I saw a person yesterday with a cast hanging out the window, that may feel really good to get some air in there. ---

I usually just rest my arm along the window sill, at a stop light for some reason I tend to do the pillar hold and tap my fingers when I’m waiting for a decent amount of time before the light turns green. the other day I witnessed a car driving by with at least 3 people doing the pillar hold. I wish I could have gotten a pic. The kid in the back was really reaching for it. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/driving-w-arm-out-window-cool-or-lame/156189.md?page=3)
