Why would you wrap yourself in a car when you could go faster, corner better and get better gas mileage with a motorcycle in the same top down weather? If you want the totally in the open experience you can't beat a motorcycle...

I think it is all just a little related to your situation. If you've got fair skin (esp. if more of that than hair) on your head you appreciate a little extra coverage from a hat. If you don't like flying at speed without a metal cage of safety around you, you take the Boxster instead of the motorcycle. In neither case do you stop appreciating the open sky and rush of wind.

And no, Sooner, the Tilley (T3) doesn't get all floppy unless I'm doing better than 120. Can't say enough about those hats - I lost my last one, finally gave up hope of finding it again and had to get another. The last had been to Hawaii, the Caribbean, Iceland, hiking, horseback riding, etc. Always performed great and kept me from being roasted from the sun.

Unless you're driving for hours, I don't quite get it
