80 bones but if it keeps a summers worth of smog trapped sulfuric acid particles out of my lungs I think I'll win. I hope to be able to try one at the store to gleen an idea as to how it will be trying to hoover air during my adventures in traffic. I don't think any of us are of the non-elevated heart rate type riders and it would deal breaker if I can't suck air.

It's because when all the windows are closed, the only way for air to enter is through outside and it gets concentrated into the car. That and most people have the AC running and airflow on circulate.
That and they're stuck in gridlock doing 1kph anyways.

jeez you make me feel like a wimp. I had a 42 on it 
While exhaust may be higher in the vehicle, we also get the joy of all the particulate matter flying around outside - one reason I don't winter ride is the inhalation of all the lovely salt particles.
If there's a pawn ticket on your Sannino, you better hurry down before I get there...

The closer to the ground, the more particulate matter. to think some particles are actual sufuric acid blows my mind. I hope it's not like a couple years ago when EVERY nice warm sunny day was a smog day by default.

Yes, but I could hang it on my wall. Perhaps a nice bottle of 15 or 20 year old scotch could pry it loose.
