Makes sense. Must be an adaptive way to tolerate the sun as pale people do not tolerate it well.


I admittedly tan with my top down. Very evident after a long day of driving





Attention is cool, but negative attention can go to hell :\

I used to never tan and only turn red in the sun, but now adays i just turn this yellowish bronze color... sorta like a Ryan Seacrest spray on tan special, So i look pretty good after a 15 minute drive with the top down.
