Does anyone else do this?

For some reason, while I am driving I always have to have the window open. No matter how hot or cold it is, or if I have the A/C or heat on, I will ALWAYS have my window open at least a crack.
My brother and my dad are the same way too, it's kind of weird. When I don't have any windows down, I don't feel right and I feel like I can't breathe, lol.
Anyone else the same way, or am I just weird

Yeah tonight I was thinking to myself wtf am I doing, lol.
I was driving at like 11pm and it was freezing, I had my window down and my heat cranked up all the way. It always seems to make my eyes water with the heat blowing right on my face, but it's worth it
I'm glad I got some responses, i was almost sure people were just gonna say i was weird, lol

Yeah, same here.

My gf always complaines that why I let the freezing cold air inside, so I roll the window up. But just when she gets distracted, I roll it down a bit again!

I just like the fresh air to get inside a bit. Makes me feel better...

Not me.

In summer, I open window to save on A/C. In winter I turn on heat and close the window. I open window when I smoke. Other times it is closed.

I get drowsy if my window is closed on the highway.. the sound makes me more allert... This is the main reason I got those vent viso things...I dont car if they look dumb, they serve my purpose my car is black tho anyway, so they blend in alright...

One side note tho... My friends dad works for Hydro One... he drives a truck all day going frome site to site (inspector type thing..) He always ah the windopw open too, untill he had a hearing test done, and his left ear is about half the strength as his right!! The told him it was from having the window open all the time for the past 20 years...lol
