Default I get this weird throbbing in my head...

when I drive with the top down for more then 45 minutes at high speed.

am I alone here? its very uncomfortable, and usualy when I get out of the car I am infornt of someone within minutes, and the throbing is so intense, I would swear they can see my noggin moving back and forth..

anyways, if you all think I'm crazy maybe I'll go to a Doctor

I'm sure it is because you are a Canuck

I've had some wierd feelings after driving long trips with the top down, but only for a small period of time afterwards and it wasn't throbbing.

I would say have it checked out if it happens repeatedly.

Good luck!!!

Try turning down the volume or listening to something other than headbangers. Should clear right up.

My head feels numb when I drive top down on the freeway for a while. It's all that wind blowing into the hair. On the other hand, are you sure a spider didn't crawl into your ear while you were sleeping?

This is wild
I don't know if you're serious or not, but I get it too. Two weekends ago, my wife and I blasted around for about seven hours in 90 degree sunshine, and my head started throbbing and didn't stop for two days.
Wifey was okay, though..
Maybe it's the way driving this car elevates my heartbeat!

I get kinda buzzed at high speeds as well...kind of a hollow feeling that normally isn't there

Maybe its a spider in your ear?

Ohh I'm serious, I wouldn't make something this stupid up

I can only guess that its the wind buffeting on my head, but why the lasting effect? I just dont know

When on the Prairie Redliners spring drive, my scalp felt numb after a while but everything else was okay... I was the passenger and my hair is about an inch long

Hmmm....never noticed anything like that. I'll have to pay more attention in the future.
